#LetsBeIntentional - The Garage and its Partners are Intentional in everything they do at FUSE 2023.
OVERVIEW
The Garage celebrated 11 years at FUSE 2023 in Nashville, TN, alongside partners and healthcare heroes. Held at the iconic Bridge Building - a historic downtown riverfront landmark, the venue was intentionally chosen due to its alignment with The Garage's population health management platform, Bridge, making it an obvious choice. FUSE 2023 had over 60 in-person attendees and 1,000 virtual attendees who learned about The Garage's latest innovations, partnerships, and customized solutions that revolutionize organizations. Bridge's platform encompasses 100+ entities across 34 states, with over 19,000 providers, 15M+ patients, and 3 petabytes of data, delivering at scale.

Creating Impactful Solutions for our Partners - Partner Storylines and How The Garage has made a Difference
Customer Success Officer Alex Choquette introduced four of Garage's Partners, Honest Medical Group, Finger Lakes Community Health, Community Care Collaborative of PA & NJ, and Collaborative Health Systems, to showcase the innovations created by The Garage in collaboration with our partners and demonstrate the challenges brought to us head-on, and how we provided solutions that impact the industry at large.
Director of Customer Success Stephanie Hidalgo and Honest Medical Group discussed the tight ninety-day timeline requested to implement care management and how The Garage successfully delivered a fully functional platform in just seventy days. The Garage had to integrate workflows from Honest Medical Group's system, which held a deluge of information and had numerous teams involved in the process.
Director of Customer Success Dustin Telfare Tuttle was joined by Finger Lakes Community Health, who discussed their Finger Lakes Virtual Community Health Center, replicating the in-person office visit virtually. FLCH was seeking a solution equivalent to or better than the in-person patient experience to help their providers and staff be available to their patients and streamline the typical telehealth experience. The Virtual Health Center created by The Garage simplifies patient virtual health visits.
