Protenus recently celebrated its fifth anniversary and while the date passed without much fanfare, I’ve been thinking about our journey and most importantly, reflecting with gratitude about the people who have invested a portion of their lives to help us get to this point. As we’re entering 2020 with ambitious goals,  I’m encouraged by our recent additions to the team and how they’re already contributing and laying the foundation for the future of Protenus. 

When my co-founder, Robert Lord, and I started Protenus in 2014 as medical students at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, we saw the benefits electronic medical records brought to patient care, but we also recognized the challenges that they presented. This included how access to patient information by healthcare employees influenced the quintessential element of trust that has traditionally served as the backbone of the patient-provider relationship. It became our mission to reinstate trust in the care environment. This was also the starting point for our company values, which are our cultural cornerstones at Protenus, guiding the decisions made across the organization, including the company’s strategic direction, the service we provide to our customers, and the people we hire.
