Meduit is built to solve for all of those market forces, serving as an extension of the client’s operating platform and expanding capabilities in real time with exceptional customer service.
“Meduit’s ongoing mission is to improve the financial stability and performance of healthcare providers across the country every day so that they can focus on providing more quality healthcare to more patients,” explained Chad Polk, President and Chief Sales Officer. “Janice Ridling has the background and reputation in the healthcare industry to help us continually achieve our mission and expand our national footprint.”
