We are thrilled by the number of recent contracts and pleased to find that our unique approach is able to meet client needs."

"When our organization decided it was time to switch to a workforce management solution that was a better fit for the needs of our dynamic workplace environment, API Healthcare went to the top of the list," said Bill Moran, information systems director, Williamson Medical Center.
