Who: HealtheConnections, a respected national leader in providing health information exchange (HIE) services for NYS-based organizations. 

What: Hiring new team members with a background in healthcare, health information technology (HIT), or clinical data quality to help us ensure complete, accurate, and reliable data is available through our health information exchange.

Most importantly, the right candidate will be excited to join a performance-oriented culture where your contributions are valued, and our mission makes a real difference in our community.
