“As an early innovator in digital patient intake solutions we’re proud of our industry-leading customer traction and growth to-date in the large and rapidly growing patient engagement market,” says Mike Lamb, CEO of Clearwave. “Today’s milestone is a testament to how we have taken patient engagement to the next level and we’re confident that Great Hill will be an invaluable partner as we leverage their deep industry expertise to further unlock the potential of our platform and accelerate our mission to simplify healthcare delivery while enhancing the patient experience.”
