Quote: If the building is not maintained properly, it can be…life-altering for a patient. If we had been (in a) pandemic ten years ago, I don't know how we would have controlled a lot of things the way we did…because of a partner like Honeywell. It's been priceless, really.

Quote: We see things without actually having to physically be there, and it has improved our time management.
