Note from the ACDIS Director: Welcome to our new 2025 ACDIS Advisory Board Members

by Rebecca Hendren

The ACDIS Advisory Board provides the association with guidance and feedback, as well as industry expertise to the CDI community through authorship of position papers and white papers.

Along with reading their advice, you will hear from them contributing to ACDIS Quarterly Member Calls, at the national conference, and as occasional guests on the ACDIS Podcast, such as with the deep dives into quality topics that we’ve conducted this year.

Before I welcome the new members, I extend my deepest thanks to the members of the Board who have just completed their term of service. Their wisdom and energy have been indispensable over the past few years.

• Lena N. Wilson, MHI, RHIA, CCS, CCDS 
• Dee Banet, RN, BSN, CCDS

Thank you to all ACDIS members who took the time to vote for the wonderful volunteers who offered to serve in the next term. It was a tight race, but our newest members have been elected.

Please join me in welcoming Angelica Cage, MBA, BSN, RN, CCDS, CCS, CDIP, CDI director at Tufts Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, and Anny P. Yuen, RHIA, CCS, CCDS, CDIP, director of clinical documentation integrity at NYU Langone Health in New York. You can learn more about them here.

Thank you for your dedication to the profession and welcome to the Board!
