Support OpenEMR Certification and Beyond
This 8.0.0 release is a massive achievement by the OpenEMR community. Volunteers contributed more than 2,000 hours to development, documentation, and testing to build version 8 and achieve ONC certification. The collaborative effort is what keeps OpenEMR innovative, secure, and the best alternative to expensive, proprietary healthcare systems. OpenEMR meets the critical need for low-cost healthcare solutions.
The OpenEMR Foundation is raising money to support its work and offset certification costs. If you rely on OpenEMR for your practice or support its open source mission, please donate today. Offset certification costs with a one-time contribution, or become an official OpenEMR Sponsor with a recurring monthly donation.
Thank you for being part of the community.
