“Our partnership with iTriage allows us to connect with the residents and visitors in our community when they need reliable healthcare information quickly,” said Steve Nitchen, owner, Doctors Express – Centennial. “With more consumers relying on their smartphones to find information, it’s crucial to provide them with the resources and technology to make informed medical decisions when time is of the essence.”
