— Kristie Neylon, Case Manager, Cleveland Clinic Hospice

“Our staff has found the Senior Comfort Guide to be a useful tool when assisting our patients in locating services within the area they live.”

— Cindy Nathanson, Case Management for Euclid Hospital/Cleveland Clinic Foundation

“All of our departments at the main campus of the Cleveland Clinic use the Senior Comfort Guide daily. We find it to be a wonderful resource of services. We especially like its spiral bind. It’s not glued like other guides, so it stays open easily. The Guides go quickly around our campus, so it’s a pleasure to have the Special Delivery Service.”

— Lawanna Stamper, Case Management Secretary, Cleveland Clinic, Main Campus

“We receive many inquiries as a result of our presence in the Senior Comfort Guide. The Senior Comfort Guide should be THE reference manual in the top drawer of every marketer/social worker/case manager in the health care industry.”

—Ron Hollowell, Director of Media and Donor Relations, The Village at Marymount
