Downtown%20Skyline_078_HR_AA

With our 2017 NORM Conference in Kansas City, MO in September 14-16, we wanted to learn more about our host town. We sat down with Kaleena James, Kansas City destination services manager, so she could give us the inside scoop on how to act like a local in KC.

Tell us a little about Kansas City.

History, culture, and, of course, terrific barbecue, are a few of the memorable findings groups can uncover in Kansas City, MO. The Heart of America, Kansas City offers a world of vibrant arts, delicious dining and Midwest hospitality at its finest.

This will be a lot of folk’s first time in Kansas City. Can you tell us about some of the great attractions nearby?

Can you tell us about anything within walking distance people should check out while we stay in KC?

Located in the heart of downtown, this vibrant, new nine-block neighborhood links the convention Center to the Sprint Arena and is bringing the beat back to Kansas City.

  • As a speaker at the first ad hoc meeting of rheumatology practice managers gathered in a single small room at its infancy a decade ago, I’m amazed to see how NORM has blossomed into a high energy organization of depth and professional meetings with parallel break-out symposia between plenary sessions. NORM has truly come of age. This is where the “business” of rheumatology gets learned. The ”guildmanship” for rheumatology practice management is now strong.- Paul H. Caldron, DO, FACP, FACR, MBA, Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates
  • In a time of demanding changes in the management of medical practices in the US, NORM has been a lifesaver to the community of Rheumatology practices.  NORM has allowed our practice to stay ahead of the many demands of CMS and others payors and has ensured that our practice remains cognizant of new issues that arise in HIPPA compliance, human resources and medical billing to name a few. Sending our Practice Manager to NORM's conferences has been cost-effective and beneficial to our practice because she returns to our office with an abundance of information that otherwise would have taken months to compile. Every Rheumatology practice that wishes to stay on top of emerging issues in practice management should consider sending a member of their staff to NORM's conference.- Michael S. Rosen M.D., Chester County Rheumatology PC
  • Thanks to all those wonderful people in the NORM Network who respond to emails, offering their advice, experience, time, and support ... I haven't even been a member a full year yet and I am amazed at the dedication of everyone who responds to helping via emails and the NORM Organization itself! I have barely had a chance to explore the resources and I have yet to really dive into requests for help still I am silently learning so much and do occasionally offer what I can! Thank you all!- Cheryl Piambino, Kenneth E. Bresky, DO
