“It’s an honor to be leading towards a brighter future for primary care,” said Fong. “This EY recognition reflects the incredible passion of the over 50,000 clinical users we’re privileged to serve. For more than a decade, we’ve been building clinical-first technology that puts primary care at the center of the healthcare system. Now combining best-in-class workflows with responsible, predictive AI to remove administrative burden and restore what matters most: meaningful, enduring relationships between clinicians and patients. As we work to bring joy back to the practice of medicine and support better health for millions of people, I’m deeply grateful to our customers, our team, and our partners for trusting Elation.”
Growth, Vision, and Future Outlook
Fong established Elation Health in 2010 at a single primary care clinic. There, she saw inefficiencies disconnect clinicians from patients daily. After retiring from Stanford University, Fong founded her electronic health record company. She developed the platform and grew it into a reputable national healthcare solution. Today, Elation Health supports over 50,000 clinical staff. It also serves more than 24 million patients. The company aims to enhance modern primary care through technological innovation. The Entrepreneur Of The Year awards recognize visionary leaders and executives. They honor those who innovate, take risks, and transform industries globally. These leaders build future-ready enterprises worldwide.
