Sullivan County Community Hospital, Sullivan Indiana
Sullivan County Community Hospital is a 25-bed acute care facility located on the north side of Sullivan, Indiana. The hospital offers a variety of outpatient services including, but not limited to, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, laboratory services, outpatient surgery, respiratory therapy, radiology and emergency room. Sullivan County Community Hospital works cooperatively with local healthcare providers, businesses, schools, churches and organizations to address community healthcare needs, and to provide a continuum of care which is beneficial in the healing process.
Sullivan County Community Hospital deployed Mitel's solutions in order to improve the reliability, scalability and cost-effectiveness of its voice system in the face of expansion and regional integration with other medical facilities. Gibson Teldata, a Mitel authorizedPARTNER, assisted the hospital with evaluating Mitel's range of offerings, including solutions to replace existing technology from Nortel.

"With the construction of new facilities to augment our main campus, as well as increased integration with other medical providers in the area, it was imperative that we upgrade our communications systems. In healthcare, efficiency and disaster recovery are key concerns, so this new technology had to provide immediate benefits in both areas—no exceptions. Thanks to Mitel and Gibson Teldata, we've rolled out an end-to-end solution that meets the needs of our staff and our patients, and provides the ROI that is crucial in any major technology purchase." -
