[{"type":"text","content":"SOMERSET, N.J., Oct. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareCloud, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDP, CCLDO), a leader in healthcare technology solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, today announced a major credentialing partnership with a large, publicly-traded U.S. corporation that stands as a frontrunner in the healthcare technology sector (referred to as \"the Company”).
