When Dr. Traci A Kimball — also known as ‘The Wound Wizard’ — embarked on the journey of establishing The WISH Clinic in Arvada, Colorado, she encountered a significant challenge that many healthcare providers face: prolonged referral wait times.

Determined to overcome this hurdle, Dr. Kimball revisited a familiar and trusted solution — Contexture’s PatientCare 360 portal.

By integrating the Contexture portal into her workflow, The WISH Clinic team gained instant access to a wealth of patient information. This dramatically enhanced the quality of care while also decreasing patient wait times to a mere 72 hours, on average.

Throughout July, colleagues at Contexture devoted time to company-sponsored volunteer activities that supported local animal communities in both Arizona and Colorado.

In Colorado, volunteers spent time supporting B***o Base Camp Inc. — a nonprofit org. dedicated to finding loving homes for burros and providing training and education to communities — during an employee appreciation event for the AdventHealth Parker team.

In Arizona, volunteers provided a helping hand to HALO Animal Rescue as the org. celebrated its 30th anniversary. HALO is a no-kill facility that provides refuge to thousands of homeless dogs and cats each year.

Thank you to everyone on the Contexture team who volunteered this month!
