Regional health system with 11 hospitals and 100+ clinics across upper midwest
Gundersen Health System (now Emplify Health following the 2022 merger with Bellin Health) operates a multi-state acute and primary care network on an Epic-centric clinical stack, with heavy investment in virtual nursing and behavioral health expansion. The hiring mix is overwhelmingly clinical (488 of 568 active roles), with engineering support minimal (3 roles) — typical for a legacy hospital system prioritizing operational scaling over digital transformation, while pain points cluster around workflow optimization, revenue cycle performance, and regulatory compliance rather than technology modernization.
