Mediacom Business Transforms SIH's Medical Technology Platform
Imagine having to travel 4-5 hours away from home simply to access essential medical facilities for tests, treatment or to care for a loved one. This used to be the challenging situation for residents of Carbondale and surrounding rural areas in Southern Illinois - that was until high capacity broadband via Mediacom Business’ fiber network became available.
Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH), the major health provider in the area, connects 3 hospitals, 21 clinics and 3,400 staff. Powered by Mediacom Business’ fiber network, the centralization of data and connectivity between locations has allowed for a level of communication that has propelled the level of healthcare SIH is providing.

Remotely assess critical patients with neurologists able to diagnose and treat patients via real life images transmitted on digital devices
Concentrate on end user services rather than patching existing inferior systems to provide essential solutions
Access information quickly that improves productivity and efficiency, and can even save lives
Provide telemedicine by connecting clinics to hospitals and opening up information exchange channels
