During Conroy's tenure, Initiate's revenue grew 700 percent, with a compound annual growth rate of 50 percent, and in 2009, he was awarded the CEO of the Year award from the Illinois Technology Association in recognition of his achievements at the company. Conroy has held leadership positions at Click Commerce, Tenfold Corporation and Oracle Corporation, and sits on several boards, including Prognosis Health Information Systems, Inc., a leading provider of electronic health records to critical access and community hospitals.

"Phreesia is applying critical technology just where medical practices need it most, and it's changing the way they operate," Conroy says. "The company is continuing to innovate at a rapid pace and expand upon its core functionality, and I'm excited to be a part of this wave of change in the healthcare industry. Phreesia is revolutionizing the patient experience, and is making a measurable impact on the health of both medical practices and their patients."

Phreesia remains at the forefront of the healthcare technology industry as it continues to find innovative solutions to improve practices' bottom lines and engage patients to enhance clinical outcomes. Recently, Phreesia unveiled a series of automated clinical risk assessments, which help clinicians screen all patients properly and ensure that CPT-coded events are completed, documented and fully reimbursed. The company also released a new payment application, the SmartPay Package, which maximizes cash flow both inside and outside of the office. Phreesia continues to drive innovation in payment management with a new application slated for later this year that will help practices and patients manage high-deductible health plans. Phreesia will leverage Conroy's business acumen, insight and leadership experience as it continues to build upon its offerings and broaden its national footprint.
