About
athenahealth

Our
vision: In an industry that becomes
more complex by the day, we stand for simplicity. We offer IT
solutions and expert services that eliminate the daily hurdles
preventing healthcare providers from focusing entirely on their
patients — powered by our vision to create a thriving ecosystem
that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare
for
all.

Our
company culture: Our
talented  employees — or athenistas, as we call
ourselves — spark the innovation and passion needed to accomplish
our vision. We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with
unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives. We
unite as mission-driven problem-solvers with a deep desire to
achieve our vision and make our time here count. Our award-winning
culture is built around shared values of inclusiveness,
accountability, and
support.

Our
DEI commitment: Our vision of
accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all
requires addressing the inequities that stand in the way. That's
one reason we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in every
aspect of our business, from attracting and sustaining a diverse
workforce to maintaining an inclusive environment for athenistas,
our partners, customers and the communities where we work and
serve.

What
we can do for
you:

Along with
health and financial benefits, athenistas enjoy perks specific to
each location, including commuter support, employee assistance
programs, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, and
collaborative  workspaces  —
some offices even welcome
dogs.

We
also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our
flexibility. While we know in-office collaboration is critical to
our vision, we recognize that not all work needs to be done within
an office environment, full-time. With
consistent communication and digital collaboration tools,
athenahealth enables employees
to find a balance that feels fulfilling and productive for each
individual
situation.

In
addition to our traditional benefits and perks, we sponsor events
throughout the year, including book clubs, external speakers, and
hackathons. We provide athenistas with a company culture based on
learning, the support of an engaged team, and an inclusive
environment where all employees are
valued.
