LEXINGTON, Tenn. — A West Tennessee hospital is implementing a new transformative technology.
BradenHealth announces that SpaceX’s revolutionary Starlink technology is being introduced to its network of healthcare facilities, with the inaugural installation successfully completed at the Henderson County Community Hospital.
“This technology is set to revolutionize how rural hospitals manage internet connectivity, especially during disaster-related disruptions that could compromise essential services,” stated Joseph Rivera, MS, Chief Technology Officer for BradenHealth.
A press release states that Starlink, when combined with SD-WAN, offers improved network connectivity, cost efficiency, enhanced emergency response, and cloud service access.
