CEO Perspective: Practice Fusion EMR System Closes $23 Million Investment

I am thrilled to announce today that Practice Fusion has completed a $23 million financing round led by Founders Fund. This is a major milestone and means that even more amazing things are ahead for our community of doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals and patients.

You probably know the name Founders Fund from their high-profile investments in companies like Facebook and SpaceX. Led by Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder, these investors are known as true visionaries in the technology sector. We couldn’t have asked for better partners. Here what Peter said about Practice Fusion this morning:

“We back companies that will radically change the world
for the better, and Practice Fusion can do just that.”

It’s an honor that these business leaders share our vision for transforming healthcare.

So, what does this all mean to you? Essentially, your favorite electronic medical record is going to keep on getting better and better. We are expanding our team and launching exciting new features this year. We’re also going to keep growing fast, bringing new technology, partners and patients on to the EMR platform. And, of course, making sure that free EMR system is always available to any doctor in the country.

I want to thank you today for helping us get here. The support of our community is key in Practice Fusion’s success. We love it when you share features requests, tell colleagues how happy you are with your EMR, send friends to apply for a job with us, or post about Practice Fusion on your Facebook wall. Keep it up!

There are great days ahead.
