Candice “Candi” Powers, system chief revenue officer for USA Health, has been elected regional executive for Region 5 of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).

During her one-year term, Powers will support HFMA chapter presidents in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee by helping chapters meet association requirements, strengthen leadership, address member needs and maintain high-quality programming throughout the region.

“Because of her excellent strategic thinking, communication and leadership skills, Candi will be an asset to Region 5 as well as the association,” said Tracy Benway, vice president of member experience for HFMA. “As a member of the Regional Executive Council, she will provide guidance on timely issues affecting not only HFMA’s chapters but also healthcare management throughout the region.”

Powers joined USA Health as the system’s chief revenue officer in June 2023, bringing more than 20 years of experience in healthcare finance and revenue cycle leadership across multiple states. She focuses on improving processes and systems to create a smoother financial experience for patients, allowing them to focus on healing and recovery.

"I'm honored to serve HFMA Region 5 and collaborate with healthcare finance leaders across the Southeast," Powers said. "The experience and perspectives I'll gain will further strengthen the work we're doing at USA Health to improve the financial experience for our patients."

HFMA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization that equips healthcare finance professionals with education, networking and leadership opportunities to help navigate the industry's evolving challenges.
