Dealing with medical bills is stressful for patients, and providers, facing staffing shortages, have limited capacity to assist. Many billing inquiries are simple clarifications, offering a prime opportunity to leverage AI.

Our Second Annual Hackathon Takes Flight! 🚀 The energy is electric as we kick off our second annual hackathon! 💡 It's inspiring to see our team's enthusiasm and creativity in full force. At Cedar, we believe in being bold and intentional with our hackathons. Our philosophy? Define themes that maximize the chances of projects evolving into real, impactful products. It's not just about coding; it's about shaping the future of healthcare. This year's theme is "User Delight". Speaking of bold, we've challenged the typical dull blues and grays of healthcare with our hackathon design. Bright yellows and pinks dominate our visual landscape, reflecting the vibrant ideas and innovations we're cultivating. It's a small but powerful reminder that we're here to disrupt and transform. A massive shoutout to our incredible organizers who've made this possible: Marguerite Kellogg, Timothy Smith, Kidest Anley, Emilie Hasselmann, Dickson Cohen, Christopher Fellows, Justin Pines, and Chirag Ghelani. Your dedication and hard work are the backbone of this event. Thank you for fostering an environment where innovation thrives! Here's to the next 48 hours of creativity, collaboration, and groundbreaking ideas. Can't wait to see what we build together! 🌟 #Hacktober #Hackathon #HealthcareInnovation #TechForGood

As we close out Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how we celebrated and observed as the lead of our BIPOC employee resource group, be@Cedar. This month’s programming allowed us to explore not just the history, but also the everlasting impact and contributions of the Latin American diaspora through a multitude of lenses including cuisine, music, and the arts. We as a collective left these sessions informed and with a profound admiration of the richness of Hispanic and Latinx culture. Though Hispanic Heritage Month is coming to an end, it’s important to recognize that our commitment doesn’t end here. My hope is that the moments we’ve shared continue to encourage all of us to do our part in fostering a culture of belonging and celebrating our diverse identities and experiences. In closing, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the be@Cedar community for their active engagement, as well as our sessions’ facilitators who led the incredible programming this month. And a very special thanks to Shani Olade, CCEP, CHC, John Aucott, and all of the wonderful thought partners along the way! 🎊 #hispanicheritagemonth
