Spring has certainly been busy on the membership front at CommonWell. We recently announced new members just a few weeks ago and today it is my pleasure to share more great news. Kareo, MEDITECH and Merge have joined the Alliance as contributing members. PointClickCare and Surgical Information Systems (SIS) have joined the Alliance as General Members. More about our new members below.
