New Web Service Increases Communication for Schools and Programs

Connect 4 Healthcare, LLC will officially launch their newest service, Connect for Healthcare for Behavioral Health TM, at the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP), 2011 Conference on May 14 in Chandler, Arizona.

Having suffered the tragic loss of his son Chris to drug addiction, Craig Gordon, Director of Business Development for the company, learned firsthand the importance of communication between the residential treatment center and family.

Determined that something good should come from his family's tragedy, Mr. Gordon persuaded his partner, lifelong friend and Connect 4 Healthcare, LLC founder Neil Moore to bring the company's care-provider communication solution to the Behavioral Health Industry.

The introduction of the service follows the companies' previous accomplishments in long-term care to give treatment centers, therapeutic boarding schools and wilderness therapy providers (among others) a secure, structured and easy-to-use solution that allows them to deliver regular, proactive, student-specific updates and important messages to authorized referral sources and family members no matter where they might be in the world.

On the introduction of the service to addiction treatment providers, Mr. Gordon said: "It's all about communication. Speaking as a parent who lived through the process and ultimately lost a child to substance abuse, good outcomes require a team approach that includes the referring professional and the family. Regular, proactive communication from the school throughout the process is critical. It better prepares the referring professional for issue management while it comforts, informs and empowers the family."

Neil Moore, Founder and CEO of Connect 4 Healthcare, LLC said: "The feedback we've already received from behavioral health professionals combined with our other health care experience clearly indicate three things: 1) The schools that adopt and use the service will get more referrals, 2) Referral sources and families will benefit by being kept more informed and being better prepared to address issues as they arise and 3) Most importantly, the adolescent will benefit by having a more informed and better prepared support team when they're at home.
