Kyna Fong Shares Elation’s Origins, Primary Care-Focus with Friends of Project Healthcare

A clinical-first EHR delivers better patient care—but until the last decade, no company had designed an EHR with primary care clinics exclusively in mind. Enter Elation Health co-founders Kyna Fong and Conan Fong, who have rapidly and robustly addressed this need by reinventing electronic health records to best support modern, high-value care. Today, Elation is the EHR of choice of 24,000 primary care clinicians who serve 12 million patients across the U.S.

In this conversation between Elation CEO Kyna Fong and Eric Thrailkill, host of Friends of Project Healthcare, learn how Elation got its start, the values the company still holds close today, and why it will never stray from prioritizing the provider-patient relationship. Listeners will also get a sneak peek at what’s next for the organization, including new innovations on the horizon.
