HMS Adds Alameda County, CA as EpiCenter Client

January, 2012 — HMS recently entered into a three-year contract with the Alameda County Public Health Department. Alameda County is the seventh California county—the others include Fresno, Humboldt, Nevada, Sacramento, Tulare, and Ventura—to utilize EpiCenter’s community health monitoring services.

Once HMS has obtained commitment from Alameda County hospitals to connect to EpiCenter, the set-up process will begin.

“Adding Alameda County to our list of clients enables the state of California to better share information about potential health threats occurring within state borders,” according to Kevin Hutchison, HMS President and CEO.
