Boca Raton, Fla.-based Modernizing Medicine plans to expand its operations in Boca Raton, adding 838 jobs by 2022, Gov. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said July 27.
The health IT company — which creates specialty-specific EHRs, called the Electronic Medical Assistant — also plans to make a $15 million capital investment in the Boca Raton community.
The expansion is supported by part of the state's $85 million Florida Job Growth Grant Fund, which encourages job grow throughout Florida.
"Florida-grown companies like Modernizing Medicine create the kind of jobs that open new doors for families across the state," said Mike Grissom, executive vice president of Enterprise Florida, an economic development organization in the state.
