Kodak Canada Expands Medical Information Operations in Summerside, Prince Edward Island

Kodak is once again expanding its healthcare IT operations in Summerside, Prince Edward Island (PE). With the latest initiative, close to 20 new software engineering positions will be created within the company’s Health Group in response to customer demand for healthcare IT software products from the company’s Health Group.

The Summerside operations are focused on the development and support of radiology information system (RIS) offered around the world by Kodak’s Health Group. Radiology information systems enable hospital radiology departments to maintain electronic records on patient exams, scheduling and other important information. The PEI team is heavily involved in technology design and development, global support of customers, and commercialization of Kodak’s CARESTREAM RIS product.

”PEI – and Summerside in particular – is an ideal location for our world-class operation,” said Dave Perry, Kodak’s Facility Manager for the Summerside site. “It affords us great benefits including access to technology, a skilled workforce and partnership building. The staff is very happy to be working in an international arena, while enjoying the PEI quality of life.” The Health Group began its Summerside operation in 2000. As the demand for healthcare IT systems grew over the past seven years, the Health Group has moved into larger facilities and hired additional employees and contractors.
