South Bend Clinic

The South Bend Clinic was one of the first businesses to subscribe to the ChoiceLight, and since joining this cutting−edge, fiber optic network, it has never looked back.n As a healthcare group that includes ten offices throughout the South Bend region, the need for a reliable and cost efficient network−wide communications system was paramount. "It was a big decision, but it was the right decision, as well as a good investment."

The result has been a much faster network transmission vehicle with greater capacity, yet at a significantly lower cost. Explains Meyer, as a healthcare organization, the South Bend Clinic offices send very large packets of information across the ChoiceLight, including medical imaging files that require substantial bandwidth. Moreover, all communications between physicians, consultations, and important conversations related to patient care are transmitted via the ChoiceLight.

"We rely on the Metronet [ChoiceLight] for transmitting information about diagnoses and treatments as well as helping to connect different healthcare providers."
