As we have all heard, there is non-stop talk about Healthcare in politics. But.....did you hear that President Obama referred to Geisinger Health System as an "island of excellence"? Geisinger Health System was a former SeeBeyond customer and remains a loyal customer to Sun. Learn more about what they have been doing to achieve their success!
More on what President Obama had to say:
"In describing what he wanted to do, the
president said that his plan
would be guided by a simple principle: Fix what’s broken and build on
what works. Later, he specifically mentioned 452-bed Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital Medical Center, 453-bed Tallahassee (Fla.) Memorial
HealthCare, Geisinger Health System, Danville, Pa., and Intermountain
Healthcare, Salt Lake City, as “islands of excellence” that have to be
replicated elsewhere."
