Meaningful Giving at HIMSS10

With your help, NextGen Healthcare raised $10,000 for charity at HIMSS10! Throughout the conference, we offered visitors to our booth the opportunity to vote for their favorite charity and then see demos of our inpatient and ambulatory products, hear a presentation about Meaningful Use, and/or explore our solutions through an interactive garden. For each instance, we added $20, $10 and $5 respectively to the pot.

In addition, leading up to HIMSS our friends and followers on Twitter helped get the pot started by following us @NextGen and retweeting a special #NextGencares message. For each retweet from a unique user, we added an extra $1 to the donation total.

The winning charity was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, who will receive $7,500 donation from NextGen Healthcare. A close second, Doctors Without Borders will receive a $2,500 donation. Thank you to all the HIMSS attendees who visited our booth and helped make this charity fundraiser a success! See you at HIMSS11.
