Watertown, Mass.-based Athenahealth plans to hire more than 100 new employees over the next year at its Belfast, Maine-based office, according to an Oct. 27 Free Press report.
The health IT company currently employs about 5,000 workers and plans to hire new employees in various fields, including analytics, medical coding and customer support.
