Testimonial

• Strategic Partnership is an opportunity for
  organizations to collaborate resources, maintain
  quality service or product and optimize costs
  savings.  The Partnership requires communication
  and agreement on the goals and outcome.  One
  example is the Nutrition Services and the
  partnership with nursing for the Room Service 
  concept. This program has increased patient and
  nurse satisfaction and has been so successful
  that is it now 24/7 with the option available for
  visitors and staff to order.
