#Opportunity_Covid_19

While the Covid 19 pandemic is a terrible tragedy and has impacted over two hundred thousand people globally and rising daily, I see that we’re also now presented with an opportunity to be ushered into a truly technologically integrated world. In order to reduce the virus’s spread, 7 billion people on all 7 continents are forced to halt their daily lives. With a focus on flattening the curve of this virus, that effort, in turn, has truly flattened our world. And with that flattening, we’re in a global pause, which is an opportunity to live into the new void we find in our lives. We have a void in the place of commutes, social gathering, sporting events, travel, kids’ activities and school, and the list grows every day.

What You Should Care About the Most During Your Hospital Stay

      Worldwide consumers are slowly taking back control of the decision-making process and are eating away at the power that retailers, business owners and hospitals once had. Technology has become an accelerant in this shift by providing information that patients can access at a moment’s notice. This has led to a more informed consumer base who has embraced a “shop around before you buy” mentality. Hospitals can no longer simply open their doors, but they must have a complete understanding of their cliental and immerse themselves in every part of patient care from start to finish. If a patient’s needs are not met, he or she may not return again for care or possibly worse… the facility’s climate might consist of stress and discomfort, further damaging or stalling the well-being of the patient.

Mary Free Bed Hospital: On the Path to Becoming the Nation’s Best

When Mary Free Bed first began planning for the expansion and renovation of their facility and services, there was one goal that everyone agreed on: becoming the nation’s best rehabilitation facility.

At the newly expanded and renovated Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, giving hope to the patients is important to the healing process.
