“I am humbled to be included on this list of innovators,” said Pittman. “I am thankful to the incredible digital team at MercyOne for their talent, leadership and tenacity. This recognition is truly a recognition of our team and partnerships with collaborators from across MercyOne who embrace our Vision to set the standard for a personalized and radically convenient system of health care.”
