East Texas Medical Center Texas USF Healthcare Consulting has been a very valuable asset. Your expertise and commitment definitely has helped our financial and budgetary outlook. I would be more than happy to recommend your services to any hospital or clinic interested in saving money on its communications. Our 14 hospitals and associated clinics have seen an average discount in excess of 60% for services and locations that qualified for discounts. Tim Arthur, Director of Telecommunications Dodge County Hospital Georgia I would like to give my enthusiastic recommendation for the services provided by USF Healthcare Consulting. Dodge County Hospital is enjoying an annual reduction of over $30,000 in internet and telecom costs due solely to the efforts of USF Healthcare Consulting in applying for discounts afforded through the Universal Service Fund. They always have and continue to carry through with their commitment to minimize our time and effort on each new project. Mike Hester, CFO Charles D. Black, CFO Tift Regional Medical Center Georgia I want to take this opportunity to recommend the services of USF Healthcare Consulting. I was pleasantly surprised in the credits we received because another consultant reviewed our invoices and told us they could not help us. USF Healthcare Consulting has helped us receive over $43,000 in credits through this program in our first year. The best part about this is that my staff and I have dedicated less than 1 hour to this project. Wade Brewer, IT Director References:
