With this wealth of experience and professionalism, we have what it takes to remove many of the operational burdens placed on hospitals.
 
I look forward to building on this solid foundation and helping Customers realize even greater patient care, operational and financial improvements.” Tehini has successfully launched and operated healthcare IT companies both as an entrepreneur and as part of capital funds that helped startups grow.
