Kaiser has a $20 million IT center in Atlanta and four more across the U.S. that service EHR systems, cybersecurity and consumer technologies, among other things.

While a lease has yet to be signed, the move would position Anthem in Georgia’s growing health IT hub. More than 200 health IT companies employ roughly 16,000 in the state, according to the report.
