Cagna Receives AHIP Credential from Medical Library Association

Robert Cagna, the library director for the West Virginia University Charleston campus, has been approved for membership in the Medical Library Association’s (MLA) Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) at the Distinguished level.

“I’m honored to have received this distinction," Cagna said.

“We congratulate Robert on achieving this important recognition and demonstrating the highest standards of professional practice to which he and the Medical Library Association are committed,” said Tomi Gunn of the Medical Library Association.
