EDC Client, Geonetric, Launches New Web Presence for Pella Regional Health Center
Cedar Rapids, IA - March 30, 2011 - Geonetric, an online solutions provider for the healthcare industry, launched a new Web presence for Pella Regional Health Center (PRHC). Headquartered in Pella, IA, PRHC offers patients quality medical care, sophisticated equipment, and a progressive care delivery model in South Central Iowa. The health center's new website effectively communicates its story to the region and beyond, while engaging site visitors with improved functionality.
"It is our goal to exceed our patients' expectations at all points of access to care," says Bob Kroese, CEO of PRHC. "We view our new website as an important tool to increase awareness in our region as well as provide current patients and potential patients improved access to Pella Regional Health Center. We've relied on Geonetric's industry expertise to help us build a site as distinctive as our facility and embrace the potential the Web offers to connect with our community."
Built on VitalSite, Geonetric's content management system, the website offers enhanced features and functionality, including providers, locations and services directories, bill payment, class and event registration, baby photos, cheer cards and appointment requests. The health center offers color-coded billing statements, assigning a different color to hospital, clinic or long-term care bills. PRHC's new online bill payment functionality extends this method online, displaying images of the three different color-coded bills and automatically connecting users to the correct payment form.
PRHC is proud of its traditional Dutch heritage, incorporating classic Pella lace into the brick etching of its new health center. Building off this theme, PRHC worked with Geonetric to create a website design that uses the same lace design in the background of the site.
