PRESS RELEASE:
Latest Issue of Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Publication Focused on Heath IT
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–November 25, 2014–
The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), one of the nation’s largest state trade organizations dedicated to technology and innovation, recently recognized Sharecare President Dawn Whaley for her contribution to Georgia’s technology industry by featuring her on the cover of the latest issue of Hub Magazine.
In the magazine’s latest issue, which is focused on the State’s Health IT Industry, Whaley authored an article, entitled “Shared Success,” in which she talks about her background in technology public relations, experience during the tech “Boom” and her path to Sharecare alongside Jeff Arnold, Sharecare’s founder and CEO, with whom Whaley has worked with since Arnold was at the helm of WebMD. As is appropriate for an issue focused on Georgia’s Health IT sector, Whaley ends her article with a call to action for the HIT industry: she encourages the state’s business leaders to leverage Georgia’s unique strengths and work together to elevate Georgia’s reputation among the ranks of nationally renowned Health IT centers like Silicon Valley and Boston.
Health information technology (Health IT or HIT) is a unique sector of the healthcare industry that involves the design, development, creation, use and maintenance of information systems for a whole range of medical and insurance-related enterprises and their consumers.
Offering a glimpse into Georgia’s Health IT industry, which boasts more than 200 companies, over $4 billion in annual reported revenue and employs more than 30,000 people, the Fall 2014 issue of Hub was unveiled in front of a crowd of contributors and sponsors at a special ceremony held at the Herman Miller Showroom in Atlanta’s Midtown West area.
