While the company, which is headquartered in New York, has no Canadian sales yet, more than 5,000 physicians in the U.S. are using Phreesia's technology. The company expects that number to hit 10,000 by the end of 2009
Phreesia is a privately held company and does not discuss sales or subscription rates.
