We will equip dental healthcare offices with the necessary technological tools that enable them to focus on delivering high-quality dental services," said José María Iruretagoyena, Chief Fintech Officer of HealthAtom. "The partnership with Chubb exemplifies our commitment to innovation, service excellence, and continuous improvement.
