Healthcare stands at a crossroads. While AI breakthroughs and innovation dominate the headlines, complexity remains a persistent challenge for too many practices nationwide. Navigating this ever-evolving landscape can feel overwhelming, but at athenahealth, we view complexity not as a barrier, but as an invitation to lead.
