Founded in 1979 with fewer than four employees, Epic has now become a dominant acute care hospital EHR across the nation. The company aims to “help people get well, help people stay well, and help future generations be healthier.” Epic is employee-owned and developer led, and spends 38% of operating expenses on research and development. In the last year, Epic was named one of the Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion from the 100 Disability Inclusion and Equity 100 Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion. Epic has employee resource groups focused on employees of color, people with disabilities, and women in the workplace. It also has a program to match new expectant parents to mentors who can offer their support during the transition to and from parental leave. Epic is known for its innovative and creative culture, and provides a scenic workplace campus with themed buildings and amenities for employees.
