Our Story

We enable clinical excellence by deploying technology, professional services and medical resources that align providers, patients and hospitals.

We all know somebody that has experienced inefficient care due to lack of coordination... the anxiety and vulnerability it creates, along with financial strain.

That's why, at HNI, we're fostering a system that breaks this cycle. We're focused on creating value for all - patients, providers, payors, and hospitals alike.
