Azalea Health Expanding to Gainesville
Gov. Rick Scott announced Friday that Azalea Health has selected Gainesville for a corporate expansion, creating 10 new jobs over the next year with a capital investment of $30,000.
Azalea is a leading provider in cloud-based electronic health records software, practice management software, and revenue cycle management services.
Scott pointed to Azalea's expansion as merely part of the thousands of jobs created since he took office in 2011.
We are excited that Azalea Health has chosen Gainesville for their expansion," he said. "Not only have we created more than 440,000 private-sector jobs since December 2010, but Floridas unemployment rate is lower than its been in five years. In order to grow more opportunities for Florida familiesto succeed, we must invest in programs that will diversify our economy and create jobs for future generations. But, our work is not done until every Floridian has a job that wants one.
The 5-year old health company currently has offices in Georgia, but will be expanding to Florida at UFs Innovation Squarein Gainesville.
We chose the Gainesville area because of the great availability of quality talent coming out of the universities, technical schools and community colleges, as well as the innovative and supportive community, said Doug Swords, chief financial officer of Azalea Health. Azalea looks forward to recruiting a dedicated team of enthusiastic individuals in order to continue the companys track record of success.
