Cerner Millennium

Cerner was founded in 1979 by Neal Patterson, Cliff Illig, and Paul Gorup who respectively serve as the CEO, Vice Chairman, and Vice President of the Knowledge & Content Team. The company's mission is to connect the appropriate persons, knowledge and resources at the appropriate time and location to achieve the optimal health outcome. As a result, the founders created the industry's first person-centric integrated architecture - Cerner Millennium. This architecture allows caregivers and supporting providers the ability to view results, problems, diagnosis, medications, and other pertinent information in real-time. In a continued effort to reduce waste and friction in healthcare, Cerner has developed many solutions including employee health, life sciences, medical devices, clinical trial management, and biosurveillance.

The company is headquartered in Kansas City, MO and has approximately 1,500 clients. Associates span 7,300 worldwide with offices in Malaysia, Australia, India, United Arab Emirates, and many others.
