The National Association of Health Unit Coordinators (NAHUC) is proud to announce that August 23rd is National Health Unit Coordinators Day.   Please  join Vail Valley Medical Center in recognizing this important role in our organization.

Rapid advances in medicine have encouraged the growth and expansion of the Unit Coordinator's responsibilities.  Over the last 50 years this professional occupation has been known by as many as 75 titles, even though we all perform the same or similar tasks.  The most popular titles are Unit Clerk, Ward Clerk, Unit Secretary, Unit Manager and Unit Coordinator.  We prefer the title Unit Coordinator because it best describes what we do daily at health facilities across the nation.  We set up charts for patients admitted to the hospital, order their lab test, x-rays, transcribe physician orders, do payroll and scheduling; so many different tasks that keeps our units running smoothly.

If you have any questions about our association please contact our national office, at 888-226-2482 or visit our web site at www.nahuc.org.
