Another great leader for @ONC_HealthIT. Congrats to @mickytripathi1 in this new role and thanks to @donrucker for staying focused on tech as one part of improving health.
@donrucker@ONC_HealthIT The country owes @donrucker a debt of gratitude for so many ground-breaking contributions leading @ONC_HealthIT. And I personally thank you for assisting my transition with such generosity of spirit and sage advice. You've left us very well-prepared for the work ahead!
