Spok Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: SPOK) is a healthcare communications technology company that develops, sells, and supports clinical communication and collaboration software and wireless paging services, primarily for hospitals and healthcare organizations. Revenue comes from two streams: wireless messaging subscriptions (periodic service fees for one-way and two-way paging) and software revenue (licenses, professional services, third-party equipment, and post-contract support).
