About Spok

Supporting 2,200 + hospitals with smarter, faster clinical communication

Our story

In 2014, two powerful communication companies, USA Mobility and Amcom Software, merged into one cohesive business—and Spok was born. We’ve expanded on the strong legacy of those companies to solve critical communication challenges that help hospitals and health systems improve patient outcomes and support public safety when seconds count and lives are at stake.
