One For The Records

When Practice Fusion called to see what they could do for St. Anthony’s, I wasn’t sure who they were. A restaurant serving California cuisine? A martial arts school? A nuclear research facility?

All wrong. Practice Fusion hosts an electronic health record system (a medical database). It’s web-based, and licensing, hosting, and training are all included. An ad-bedecked version is free. An ad-less version comes with a reasonable fee. (If you don’t believe it, look for their website where they explain their secret.)

They called on a short lead, which often doesn’t work for St. Anthony’s, especially at holiday time. But as it happened, we had a gap they were just in time to handle. We started off with a tour of our new Free Medical Clinic, then crossed the street to the volunteer room to work on last minute preparations our service staff were glad to turn over to volunteers.

St. Anthony volunteer projects are usually booked months ahead, but it’s always worth a call. You never know.  Our new adult group coordinator is Dolores Gould: 415-592-2704. Or click over to Volunteer and fill out a group form for something in the future.
