I am excited to work with them as they continue to expand their employment base in our city.” “Boston is unquestionably the country’s premier location for healthcare and technology innovation. Mayor Menino's team, led by John Palmieri and the Boston Redevelopment Authority, was instrumental in helping NaviNet establish its headquarters here,” said NaviNet President and CEO Brad Waugh. “Massachusetts, and the city of Boston in particular, boast leading healthcare and educational facilities, a thriving mix of health insurers and some of the world’s best hospitals. They are also home to extraordinary talented technology and healthcare professionals, which allows NaviNet to hire the best and brightest employees in pursuit of our mission to advance the efficiency and quality of healthcare.” NaviNet is the country’s largest health information network, used by physicians, health insurers and other healthcare professionals in all 50 states to securely exchange patient-related data.
