Every company wants to be recognized for doing something special, and ClearDATA™ is no exception. Our [customers](https://www.cleardata.com/cloud-case-studies/) are using our products and [services](https://www.cleardata.com/services-descriptions/) to truly make healthcare better every day, whether they are researching genome-specific drug treatments or providing better access to patient images for enhanced diagnosis. And, they are doing it all in a secure and compliant manner, which makes all of us patients VERY happy.

However, it’s even more special when your leadership is recognized for pushing the boundaries and championing innovation. I am very proud to announce that Darin Brannan, CEO of ClearDATA has been named a finalist for the Ernst & Young LLP Entrepreneur of the Year Award!  According to Ernst & Young, the award is for “entrepreneurs who are excelling in areas such as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.”
