Abridge

As we head into the holiday season, I find myself reflecting on the extraordinary privilege we have at Abridge. Every day, we get to partner with remarkable customers, organizations and clinicians who show up tirelessly for those in need. Their commitment to delivering care, often under challenging circumstances, is the purest expression of the meaning of Thanksgiving: using knowledge, skill, and heart to make another person’s life better. To all of our Abridge customers, and to the clinicians and care teams within these incredible health systems, thank you. I’m wishing you and your families a joyful, restorative holiday surrounded by the people who matter most. I’m also profoundly grateful for the opportunity to help build Abridge itself, an organization grounded in first principles and core values that transcend both healthcare and business. At the end of the day, Abridge is a company full of exceptional humans doing exceptional work, and I’m honored to be part of it. It’s been a fulfilling journey to build alongside our executive team and to grow the commercial organization. I’m deeply thankful for our commercial leadership team, for every member of the team I have the privilege to lead, and for the shared purpose that drives us forward every day. So as we pause to express gratitude, I’ll keep it simple: At Abridge, we’re grateful and we’re here to keep doing the work that matters.

“The question is no longer whether healthcare will change...but how boldly we choose to lead it.” —Darian Harris, MHA Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Conversation. Partnership is a privilege—and the foundation for the future of healthcare we’re building together.

✨ "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀...𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝗴𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱." It’s hard to describe just how energizing this year’s The Conversation: Human by Design was. Now in its second year, the event brought together leaders across healthcare, AI, professional sports, and the arts to explore how we can intentionally shape technology to serve human flourishing. Being “human by design” isn’t just a theme—it’s a call to action. It means building tools and systems that deeply understand us. That meet us with empathy, clarity, and purpose. We’re so grateful to the partners, speakers, and attendees who made this possible. Here's a quick look at the moments that moved us, and a glimpse of the conversations still to come.

🩺 From coders to clinicians, Abridge is restoring joy in practicing medicine and changing lives at CHRISTUS Health: “I actually had our coding educator reach out to me and say, ‘How can we get more of our doctors using Abridge? The notes are so great—it makes the coders’ lives so much easier. We would love for everybody to use Abridge.’” —Dr. Tim Barker, CMIO of Ambulatory Care, CHRISTUS Health Documentation intelligence powers deeper understanding in healthcare with complete and compliant notes, from conversation to code. Clinicians win because Abridge helps them deepen connections—with both patients and their families. “My children actually said last year that, at Christmas, one of the best gifts they got was Abridge, because they got their mom back…I never expected that [Abridge] would change my life.” —Dr. Kimberly Page, Family Medicine Doctor, CHRISTUS Health
