Grace Showalter, RN, MHIIM

After completing her Associate in Nursing at Harper College, she moved to Hershey, PA and completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Penn State. She earned her Master of Health Informatics and Information Management from the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
