Texting has revolutionized the way we share information at work and in life. It’s often the first form of communication that people check before email, voicemail and snail mail. As the default for virtually all messaging, most folks often will say, “If you need to reach me right away, just shoot me a text.” 

The same can be said about healthcare, though the industry has lagged behind in this area between the industry’s inherent slow embrace of change and concern about privacy when it comes to complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). But the good news is that any such resistance is starting to crumble, and there’s a trailblazer in the medical field who’s leading the way.
