A Trident Thanksgiving Message

I’m blogging from my new Apple I-Phone with much gratitude for such great technological advancements that allow me to write you in this balancing act of working effectively from home as I celebrate the holiday with my family over the next few days. I should add that I’m like a kid with a new toy, enjoying the heck out of touch screen communications and the many applications the I-Phone provides to make my job easier. At Trident, our embrace of technology bodes well for the future, not just in our office efficiency, but in terms of our plans for expansion. We're growing again and recently expanded with new accounts in several states. Also, we are excited about Vivo, our real time data system platform which virtually transforms the way hospitals do charting and manage information. Given new governmental policies for hospitals to become paperless beginning in 2012, we are in the right place at the right time. I think we're doing a great deal of right things that demonstrate Trident's values and dedication to patient focused care, utilizing the very latest techniques to always be improving. I'll be blogging about some of our exciting plans over the course of the next several months, and much more about health care technology and its new directions.

It is Thanksgiving this week, and there is much for which I give thanks and praise, even amid the economic and political climate that challenge this fine country. Our service men and women in the military are thought of with special thanks this week. Closer to home, it's important for me to pause and give thanks to the many people who make a difference each day at Trident in the work they do to serve patients, surgeons and staff, as well as making a difference each day in their own lives, with their family, and the in the community at large. I want to thank the home office staff, all the Chiefs and their teams and recognize with appreciation what they do every day. Trident's influence and reputation is founded on the competence of its people and work ethic, even though we are all different, performing different tasks and in different time zones... we are connected and a highly effective functional team. It makes me proud and appreciative to have such quality people working with us at Trident.

My Thanks and Blessings to all from my family to yours, each and every one, and may you enjoy some time together with your loved ones to give thanks, share a holiday meal, and celebrate.

Happy Thanksgiving!
