Under the IRREF grant program, which targets businesses considering locating or expanding in certain counties in northwest Florida -- particularly those that suffered economic losses from the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico -- iSirona committed to generating new jobs and has already hired five out of five additional software developer positions since receiving confirmation of the grant on May 21st.
Separately, the DEO approved a $180,000 tax refund over the next three years to encourage the creation of 45 software design jobs with an average salary of $49,155.
"We look forward to providing job and economic opportunities to Floridians," said Dave Dyell, iSirona's CEO. "We are experiencing tremendous demand from hospitals wanting to integrate medical devices with their electronic health records systems to improve quality of care, patient safety, clinician workflow and efficiency. The funds generated by these two innovative programs will help lay the foundation for continued company growth and more local jobs -- a true win/win for iSirona and our community."
iSirona has grown from 35 to almost 100 employees over the last 12 months. The company has been growing steadily since its inception in 2008 in Panama City, Fla., serving more than 120 hospitals across the U.S.
