Memorial Hermann–Texas Medical Center Receives Cell Coverage Boost From Verizon Wireless
Staff and Patients to Benefit from $2.1 Million Wireless Investment HOUSTON – (Dec. 8, 2009) – Memorial Hermann Healthcare System announced today it has signed an agreement with Verizon Wireless to install and maintain an advanced telecommunication system at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. The system, called Distributed Antenna System, allows physicians and patients to receive cell phone coverage throughout the 2 million sq. ft. facility, even in the basement. This is the third Memorial Hermann hospital to install the antenna system designed by The Molitoris Group, a Houston-based telecommunications developer, who brokered the business deal and is currently managing construction of the site. Memorial Hermann plans to work with interested wireless telecommunication providers to provide ubiquitous telecommunication services. "Distributed Antenna Systems are no longer a luxury for major hospital complexes. As a result of the installation of this system, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System will continue to be at the forefront of technology in Southeast Texas," added Rob Todd, founder of Molitoris Group. As a result of the project, healthcare professionals, patients and guests will be able to make and receive calls throughout the hospital campus, including stairwells and basements. Verizon Wireless was selected to be the first provider in the project as a result of its business terms, design and engineering focus, which prioritizes the development of hospital systems. "This initial capital investment of $2.1 million and our ongoing maintenance investment for a Distributed Antenna System at Memorial Hermann, demonstrates Verizon Wireless' commitment to the hospital, its staff, patients--and the medical community," said Kay Henze, president - Houston/Gulf Coast Region, Verizon Wireless. "In an area with a high density of wireless device users, like the hospital, the system will provide added benefits like increased capacity and strengthened coverage for Verizon Wireless customers."

Bariatric Medicine: Part 1 At 535 pounds, Rex Adams felt like a prisoner, not just because of his weight, but because he was taking as many as a dozen pills a day to help manage complications of obesity. “When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had to go on oral medication, that’s when it really hit me,” Adams says. “I had done this to myself. I knew I had to do something to lose the weight and free myself from all the pills I was taking.” Adams sought a surgical solution – a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass – to control the weight and his blood sugar. He took one last pill the day before the surgery. Since then, he hasn’t required any medication to manage type 2 diabetes. He is no longer considered diabetic. “It was like a complete release,” Adams says. “I had the surgery, and I never looked back.” Comment?
