Whitney continues, "Medicity's solution will give us an infrastructure for developing web content that is attractive, informative, and current. It also positions us with a strategic foundation for audience-specific portals that address the needs of our broader constituency--which includes employees, patients, and physicians--providing a platform for secure information exchange and hospital-sponsored service applications.
