Galen Offers WiFi In All Offices

Recognizing that busy adults take their computers everywhere, Galen Medical Group now offers free, secure wireless internet access in all patient waiting rooms.

“We see our new WiFi service as another way Galen can serve our patients and their needs,” says Galen President Thomas Cook, M.D.  “People don’t like to wait, and we work hard to make patient waiting times very short.  Yet some wait at some time is an inevitable part of the patient experience.  We believe patients will appreciate the opportunity to go online through their laptops and phones.”

One of the goals of the Galen Medical Group is to be on the cutting edge of technology that improves medicine and patient care.  The Internet has opened a new world of medical and health care information to patients, and to physicians, everywhere.

Says Dr. Cook, “We physicians use the Internet to view medical charts, see the results of diagnostic tests and to conduct research.  We encourage our patients to view the Internet as a tool that can serve them as well.  Providing access in our offices is one additional way we can encourage our patients to understand their health and communicate with their doctors, as well as to make the most of their busy schedules.
