Customer Spotlight
Discover how Goodwin Health Cafe, a progressive psychiatric clinic, uses Spruce to manage diverse patient needs and care team collaboration. They had tried two different communication solutions before Spruce and would often miss calls, lose voicemails and contacts, and more. With Spruce in place, Goodwin now has a permanent record of all of their calls, texts, faxes, internal messages, and more. With multiple different nurses, providers, and receptionists, it was exactly what they needed to keep everything straight. Read more on our blog!
