QuadMed, a national leader in employer-sponsored healthcare, has earned one of Epic’s highest distinctions, providing independent validation of a strategic imperative the company has pursued: building a more connected, frictionless, and digitally enabled model of primary care. At Epic’s 2026 Users Group Meeting (UGM), QuadMed earned a 10 out of 10 Configuration score and 9 out of 10 Usage score in Epic’s Gold Stars program, placing the company in the top 8% of Epic organizations worldwide for configuration and the top 1% for usage. QuadMed was one of just eight organizations to earn a score of 9. QuadMed believes employer-sponsored healthcare can serve as a proving ground for the future of primary care by demonstrating how sustained investment in interoperability, connected care and digital infrastructure can improve outcomes for patients, clinicians and employers alike.

The American Trucking Associations, through its federation of 50 state associations, called on the governors of every state to prioritize truck parking with their infrastructure spending priorities. In a letter sent to every governor, ATA and state trucking associations spelled out the numerous new resources provided by the federal government, including new funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, to improve and expand truck parking facilities. “Construction of new truck parking capacity at rest areas or adjacent to private facilities is eligible for funding, as are improvements that allow for increased parking capacity at nontraditional locations, such as weigh stations and commuter lots, when appropriate,” the letter said. “Some states have already utilized these resources to increase parking capacity or improve the operational efficiency of existing facilities.”
