eHealth Technologies will expand its operations center by 12,000 square feet on Thruway Park Drive in Henrietta, Monroe County, New York. The renowned healthcare data software firm expects to create up to 160 new full-time positions.

"The progress we have seen across upstate New York is undeniable and eHealth Technologies' continued investment in the region is yet another clear signal the Finger Lakes is moving forward," Governor Cuomo said. "eHealth has a very bright future in the region and we are proud to partner with them to ensure they continue to call New York home. By working to create jobs and strengthen our local economies, we are setting generations of New Yorkers up for success."

Ken Rosenfeld eHealth Global Technologies, Inc. CEO said, "We are excited to continue our growth right here in Upstate New York and I thank Governor Cuomo for his partnership and leadership.

To encourage eHealth Global Technologies to grow in the Greater Rochester area, Empire State Development is providing the company with up to $2 million in return for job creation and retention commitments over the next ten years.

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Howard Zemsky said, "The creation of up to 160 new jobs is very welcome news for the regional economy and adds to the momentum of the work being done through the Finger Lakes Forward economic development plan. Governor Cuomo's vision and commitment to Upstate revitalization efforts are truly paying off."

Working together, eHealth and New York State are investing in the future by protecting existing jobs and generating new opportunities for residents as we move the Finger Lakes forward."

Assemblyman Henry B. Bronson said, "I applaud Ken Rosenfeld and eHealth Technologies for their commitment to our region. Today's announcement by the company and Governor Cuomo shows that the Rochester area is in a strong educational and economic position to create jobs for the future."
