State Senator Andy Dinniman has announced that Cerner Corporation, the world’s largest publicly traded health care information technology company, will expand its operations in Malvern creating up to 250 new, high-paying jobs.

“I was pleased to welcome Cerner Corp. to Chester County last year and I’m thrilled that the company will continue to grow here while creating new jobs in our area,” said Dinniman. “Success in economic development involves being proactive in seizing opportunities to create jobs and investment in our region. I am proud to have been involved in this project since the beginning.”

Dinniman has been directly involved in talks and negotiations to keep Cerner in Chester County since last February, after the company acquired the Siemens Health Services’ health information technology business unit in the Great Valley Corporate Center.

Thanks to Dinniman’s leadership, Cerner worked with the Governor’s Action Team to reach a funding proposal which includes a $1.25 million Pennsylvania First program grant from Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. Under this, Cerner will invest over $75 million in the project, and create 250 new, full-time jobs, while retaining its current 2,000 employees for the next three years.

“As a company at the intersection of health care and information technology, Cerner is experiencing tremendous growth, and we plan to maintain a strong presence in Malvern,” said Zane Burke, Cerner’s President.

“Since 2015, we’ve successfully integrated Cerner’s culture, tools, and processes, and I look forward to continuing our momentum with our Pennsylvania-based associates.”
