MISSION DRIVEN

The patient experience

Software Engineer Sara Bernstein joined Cedar to help put their mission into practice. “I am constantly working with my teammates on products that enhance the patient experience and aim to make healthcare more affordable,” Bernstein said. Whether working through code reviews, running through tickets or focusing on pair programming, Bernstein knows her work makes a difference. “I love that the products I’m building directly impact our patients and that I get to see the impact of my work,” she said. Bernstein also mentioned she's a big fan of the almond butter cups in the NYC HQ snack pantry.

Pooling together different opinions, experiences and areas of expertise gives our team the ability to deliver an excellent product.

Manisha Ram

Product Success Lead

BE@CEDAR

Building space for diverse voices in tech

In addition to her work with clients, Manisha Ram serves as co-chair of be@cedar, an employee resource group focused on building inclusion and community for BIPOC Cedarians. Along with Ram’s personal growth as a leader and her gratitude for the be@cedar community, she is also grateful for how Cedar is able to model inclusivity, both in the tech world and for their healthcare clients. “We have a responsibility to create that inclusive environment so that our providers, patients and observers clearly see our commitment to anti-racism and diversity in our product and in each of us,” she said.

There is an indescribable feeling when you find out you share a similar background and experiences with another co-worker. You feel like you can be your true self a little more.

Implementations Director, Sales

SOLUTIONS ORIENTED

Solving complex problems cross-functionally

Each day is different for Harry Morgenstern. One recent cross-functional project connected him to Cedar’s product, engineering and design teams to quickly deploy features to support a client. “The ‘all hands on deck’ approach is not new for Cedarians, but it was invigorating to know I can count on my teammates, even when it’s not their direct responsibility to step in,” Morgenstern said. According to Morgenstern, especially in his role, that solutions-oriented approach is key. “Each healthcare organization we partner with presents new challenges that Cedar can help solve.”

I love being part of a team that continually strives to make our implementations more efficient.
