    Hi Merge Community,

    We’re at the end of Q1 and suffice it to say it has been a very packed start to the year for us. Between HIMSS, ACC, Best in KLAS, webinars with KLAS and SIIM, and our own annual sales meeting, we’ve been working tirelessly every week from January to now to continue advancing our commitment to you: Reliable imaging. Less complexity. Better care.

    It’s not a tagline; it’s a mission statement that’s at the heart of every new product upgrade we release, every customer story we share, every webinar we host, and every event we attend. Making your imaging workflows more reliable, empowering your physicians to be more productive, reducing technical headaches for your IT teams, and creating better outcomes for your patients: these are the expectations that set the foundation for all of the solutions we deliver to you. Below is a small sample of what we’ve been working on behind the scenes for you. As always, let us know what you think – your feedback keeps us honest and ensures what we’re delivering hits the mark for your needs. If you haven’t already, make sure to save your spot for Merge LIVE in New Orleans this May, which will be prime time to share your feedback with us face to face.
