Surgery Patients, Have No Fear
Company Providing Health Care Education

LOGAN, Utah- Mary Ann Parlin first became aware of the lack of outside health care information while doing a dissertation at Mountain West Physical Therapy. Patient’s lack of knowledge has proved that the healing process takes longer, creates more problems with surgeries, and leaves the patient feeling unsatisfied with the medical staff. In Jan. 2006, Parlin began assimilating ClearPoint, a small team of well-trained and highly-experienced designers with over 40 years of combined experience.

ClearPoint provides pamphlets and DVD’s for patients to watch before medical procedures. Three different pamphlets are complete so far, along with what is called a “pregnancy wheel”, complete with a DVD. DVD’s for in-patient and out-patient clients are available and a Lumbar Fusion Physical Therapy clip. Preston Parker, Senior Vice President Project Manager for ClearPoint, said they have yet to receive negative feedback from any patients or medical staff. “People can recover up to fifty percent faster when they are educated. When they have the education and know what to expect during surgery, they aren’t as afraid. We actively engage patients in facing authentic problems related to their health.”

ClearPoint currently provides these services for Cache Valley Specialty Hospital and Mountain West Physical Therapy. No extra costs apply to patients.

This press release is pretty good. Just remember that there is no apostraphe in 'DVDs' and an apostraphe after the 's' in 'patients.' Perhaps add one more quote too. But overall, the story is well-written and coherant. Good work.

Minus a few gramatical errors, this was great! You had a lot of information and it was well organized.

There were a few grammatical errors that I noticed as well, but I think you did a very good job with the inverted pyramid. If I was a reporter I would totally write this story up. Radical

I agree with everyone else there were some grammar problems. But you did a great job presenting the information.
