Trabal Earns the Designation of Certified Healthcare Financial Professional
Submitted by Hilary Christensen, Certification Chair
Milton Trabal, (pictured right) recently passed both Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP) exams to earn his designation as a CHFP.
Trabal carries 17 years of experience in the healthcare industry, which includes large health system, critical access hospital, and long-term care facility experience. While gaining experience in the healthcare industry, Trabal decided to become a member of HFMA. Trabal chose HFMA to establish a network of peers to discuss specific healthcare finance issues, as well as continued learning opportunities in the industry. Trabal has been a member now for 11 years.
When asked why you took the test, Trabal responded with, “After many years in healthcare finance, I decided to get a certification to support my knowledge in the industry.” Trabal had some advice for future test takers, “Stay on track with Mod I and do not let too many months pass between modules.”
The Certified Healthcare Financial Professional program develops the skills necessary for success in business and financial aspects of healthcare for financial professionals, clinical and nonclinical leaders, and payers. The program covers business acumen, collaboration, financial strategy, and understanding future trends.
With a member’s all access membership, there is no cost to take the CHFP exams. If you are interested in expanding your knowledge or refreshing your current skills, contact Hilary Christiansen at
