St. John's Regional Medical Center announces the installation of wireless Internet services for the convenience of patients, visitors, employees and physicians. Now you can get your wireless access on your laptop computer through our “guest” network. This FREE service is available throughout the entire Medical Center, Medical Office Building and Brady Building on St. John’s Campus.
Example: A patient can use his/her own wireless-enabled laptop to connect to the Internet and keep up on e-mail from their hospital bed.
Example: A visitor can use his/her own wireless-enabled laptop to connect to the Internet while in the cafeteria or the waiting room.
“This is a great service for our patients and visitors. Now they can check e-mail and correspond with family outside the hospital,” says Bob Honeywell, Director of Technical Services for St. John’s. “Can you imagine the opportunities in our birthing center with this technology? Now you can let family know the minute a mother delivers. It’s a lot easier to send out a mass e-mail, than to call every family member.” This technology allows our patients to be connected to family members, when they can’t physically be there. Just one more good reason why…When it matters most. Think St. John’s.
