Athenahealth has been simplifying the business of healthcare since 1997, delivering technology and services that reduce administrative burden and enable ambulatory practices to focus more fully on patient care. The company aims to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all. The organization operates with a strong set of values: acting with integrity; obsessing over customers; striving for excellence; being accountable; valuing everyone; making a difference; and working as a team. The athenaInstitute furthers this mission by publishing actionable data and thought leadership, convening stakeholders to address real-world challenges, and elevating innovations that simplify ambulatory care across the full practice lifecycle. The organization embraces a hybrid work model that views work as an outcome rather than a place, pairing collaborative office environments with flexible remote options to support productivity and balance. Employees benefit from comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans, 24/7 phone or video access to acute and mental health services, transgender medical benefits, flexible time off, paid parental leave and sabbaticals, a 401(k) with employer match, higher education assistance, family planning support, wellness programs, and recognition through the “athenaStar” rewards platform. The company has earned workplace awards from USA Today, Newsweek and Forbes for 2025.
