J2 Interactions Newsletter | December '24 



Seasons’ Greetings!

‘Tis the season of giving! Some gifts bring delight that only last a few moments. Other gifts grow year after year, exponentially yielding possibilities that could never have been anticipated. These are things like a child’s education or clean data for a healthcare enterprise.

J2 has spent over 20 years working to bring these kinds of gifts to our community, and we’re honored to do so.

On one hand, this looks like sponsoring the EVkids Fundraising Gala in Boston, MA, and helping under-resourced youth in the Greater Boston area gain tutoring and mentorship, raising graduation rates.

On the other hand, this looks like helping our clients and partners crack the code on their healthcare data.

Data—and what we do with it—is how we determine and create the future of healthcare. Access to data, clean data, trustworthy data—this is one of the greatest gifts we can give the healthcare community. One that, like a child’s education, will pay dividends we can neither anticipate nor fully quantify.

What gift can we give your organization this year?


Wishing you peace of mind and winning data solutions for 2025!
