Maryland/Virginia #021

Join us for a chapter event! 

2/26/2026 @ 1900 Free!

Dr. Brian Weirich, Chief Nursing Innovation Officer at Bon Secours Mercy Health, is joining us to talk about what real, practical innovation looks like.

You’ll learn how tools like ambient documentation and RTLS can:

• Reduce documentation burden
• Improve workflow efficiency
• Support safer, more focused nurse-patient care

From ICU nurse to executive leader (and 1,000+ hours back on COVID units), Brian brings both strategy and frontline perspective.

Introducing the Maryland/Virginia ANIA Chapter

We’re excited to share an important update for our community. Beginning in 2026, the Central Maryland ANIA Chapter will officially become the Maryland/Virginia ANIA Chapter.

This evolution reflects our growth and commitment to strengthening nursing informatics across the region.

What this means:

- Expanded regional reach and collaboration

- Greater opportunities for networking, education, and leadership

- Continued alignment with ANIA’s mission and values

The same engaged community, now broader and stronger

We look forward to building this next chapter together and welcoming colleagues from across Maryland and Virginia.

Onward, together.
