MOA BUSINESS MEMBER
athenahealth is a leading provider of internet-based business services for physician practices. athenahealth was co-founded in 1997 by Todd Park and Jonathan Bush, who found after purchasing a birthing practice in California, that most of their time was spent buried in paperwork trying to get paid. Unable to find a solution, they built their own.
