Welcome to the new and improved Member Community Forum!

October 30, 2020

We are excited to invite NIHD members into the new and improved Member Community Forum!  I am so honored to have been a part of bringing this exciting new website to our organization.  Our vision was to enhance the member experience, improve the member community forum, garner broader industry interest in NIHD, and showcase our amazing organization for what it is! 
 
Here on the new and improved Member Community Forum, our number one goal was to enhance the experience for members. We made it more robust, easier to use, provided multiple ways to contribute to the topic, and we improved the organization of the information shared. 
 
The Member Community Forum is an unbelievable resource we have for NIHD members. Our members are able to poll and ask our professional colleagues around the world for information, best practices, advice on similar experiences, and any other topic that comes to mind.  The Forum allows members to chat, share files, images and any other form of information that could contribute to the knowledge on the posted topic. 


The upgrades we hope you enjoy on the Forum are:

  • Ability to reply directly from your email, posting to the forum in the appropriate channel. This means no more logging in to find the appropriate channel to respond to.

  • More organized presentation of all information collected.

  • Ability to sort each topic by “latest, new and top” responses in each category.

  • Ability to post links, attachments, videos, photos to your reply.

  • Ability to “like” topics and responses similar to social media platforms

  • Ability to create your own “poll” to ask our members questions without having to create a survey monkey.

Please take some time to go through our cataloged topics and replies from our old forum to see how it works, displays and interfaces.  Ask a question, send a poll, and always remember…. The more we respond, the more robust our Forum is! 

Thank you,

The Paladin Healthcare Story: Infrastructure with Intention.
Aug 14, 2025

Paladin’s story begins not in a boardroom, but in a generational handoff. In 2013, a rail, both literal and symbolic, was passed from father to son. This “official” transition marked the founding of Paladin Healthcare, a company born from legacy but designed for the future. It wasn’t just about continuing a business; it was about evolving an idea, about taking something foundational and reimagining it for a new era of healthcare.
