The Health Care Compliance Association is now 10,000 members strong

MINNEAPOLIS, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The compliance profession is experiencing stunning growth both in and outside the United States. Proof of this landmark progress is the announcement today by the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) that it now has 10,000 members.

"When a small group of compliance officers sat down 19 years ago, we realized that there would be value in creating an organization that would help support our peers throughout health care. Back then having a thousand members seemed like an improbably large number. Now look at us with 10,000 members and part of the one of the fastest growing professions in the world," said SCCE/HCCA Chief Executive Officer Roy Snell.

"This milestone does not come as a surprise. The compliance profession is one of the fastest growing industry segments and is certainly very important to the health care world. HCCA is committed to continuing to serve the needs of our growing members," said SCCE/HCCA President Gabriel Imperato, Managing Partner, Broad and Cassel.

"All the folks that came before compliance failed at finding and fixing problems. The growth of compliance speaks to the profession's ability to help prevent wrongdoing and, where it is found, to both stamp it out and keep it from happening again," said Snell.

The HCCA grew from a small group of newly named compliance officers to 10,000 with the help of numerous hard working and committed board members, a dedicated staff, and an encouraging environment. HCCA was established in 1996 and is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN. HCCA provides training, certification, networking, and other resources to its 10,000 members. HCCA's members include compliance officers and staff from a wide range of organizations, including hospitals, health systems, research facilities, physician practices, clinics, managed care, pharmaceutical, medical device, and technology service providers.
