Our growing community will gain the benefits of a large IT organization, including 24/7, 365 days/year support and access to secure, HIPAA-compliant services. To ensure we meet the IT needs of all of the schools, each school has a representative on our governance committees, as well as input and shared oversight of the DGIT project portfolio.
