Success Story: THOCC Success Story / Case Study
The Hospital of Central Connecticut (THOCC) in New Britain, CT, partnered with HPG to support its Oracle Cerner EHR solutions during transition to the Epic EHR.

Through expert resources and communication, THOCC was empowered to focus on providing the knowledge and development to its team for the Epic EHR transition.
