Sherman Hospital has been a client of heartbase since 2000. From the beginning, the customer service has been second to none. It was a much smaller company back then, but as the company had grown, the customer service has remained as customer service was meant to be! The product is easy to use and the reporting functionality is wonderful! I am happy we made the choice to go with heartbase in 2000 and even happier that the Advocate system chose heartbase!
