••• J2 Interactions Newsletter | February '25 •••



Valentine’s Day was a couple of weeks ago, but you can still fall in love!

With your tech ;-)

J2 has been working on new projects with interoperability, FHIR, and empowering healthcare organizations with technology solutions that help rather than hinder. We’ve got some exciting announcements on the horizon that will come as early as the HIMSS conference next week.

Will we see you there?
J2 is at booth #635 - stop in, say hello, and grab a pair of socks!

J2 recently won a DEVIES award for excellence in strategic and technical development work, and we’re so proud of this achievement. Our biggest award is always the success of our clients and the knowledge that our work is helping real people get the healthcare they need and deserve. But in this case, the accolades are also welcome!

What award-winning service can we provide you?

Director of Marketing
