COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, xG Health Solutions, powered by Geisinger®, and Epic announced plans to license xG Health Solutions' care management xGContent™/content for use within Epic software. xG's evidence-based content will be available for use in Epic's Healthy Planet population health management software later this year.

Steinberg, MD, MPP, CEO, xG Health Solutions.
