Video: Glendale Adventist Health on the Streets

How the Adventist health message mixes with communities today.

And in Colorado, they are high-tech.

The app, called iTriage, is a free program that also allows patients to pre-register for emergency room treatment with a feature call “Tell Us You’re Coming”, which not only smoothes the check-in process but helps emergency room staff to be better prepared for the patient’s arrival.
