White Pine Systems has spent the first half of 2013 setting the table for what the electronic medical records firm expects will be a big second half of the year.
"It's really been a wonderful year," says Doug Dormer, founder & CEO of
White Pine Systems. "We have received national recognition for our work in behavioral health. We have also recruited new contracts."
Among the Ann Arbor-based company's new contracts are creating consumer health tools for the Michigan Health Information Network, which is based in Lansing. The quasi-government organization helps promote sharing of information between health-care providers.
White Pine Systems has hired three people over the last year. It now employs a team of 10 people and one intern. That team has helped work to set up seven figures' worth of grants that could come down later this year. Dormer doesn't expect all of them to land, but even a healthy percentage of success will mean big gains for the company.
"We are very excited about entering the second half of 2013," Dormer says.
