Letter from Jonathan

One of the real joys of the holiday season is the opportunity to say thank you to our clients – and to wish you happiness and prosperity in the coming year. This month in athenaPulse, we are pleased to announce that the first practice is in full production with athenaClinicals. We're also doing our part for storm-ravaged Gulf Coast practices, beginning a new presence in Washington, and kicking off a new year-long series in Physician Practice magazine. For details, please read below.
