Swearingen Software Announces the Winner of the Hardship RIS Give-Away Contest

Houston, TX, February 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Swearingen Software is thrilled to announce that College Park Family Care Center in Overland Park, KS has won the free radiology information system, RISynergy. Last November, Swearingen Software, Inc. of Houston, TX announced that they were holding a contest to give away one free Radiology Information System to a “hardship” radiology department. They wanted to award a hospital or clinic that had fallen on difficult economic times, their state of the art RIS. The contest includes the RISynergy software, installation and training, and one year of support for free.

Chuck Chambers, the Administrator from College Park Family Care Center in Overland Park, KS completed the contest form and explained why they consider themselves a hardship case. “College Park Family Care Center fell on hard times in 2009 ... Despite this severe financial setback, we have honored a commitment to fund a start-up not-for-profit clinic in the poorest neighborhood in Kansas City, MO. The Hope Family Care Center opened in October 2009, thanks almost entirely to a financial commitment and hours and hours of volunteer work from the physicians and staff of College Park Family Care Center. Had we not funded this not-for-profit clinic, we could have used the money to purchase a RIS system, which we need for our ever-growing radiology department. We chose to divert our funds instead to provide for those who have greater needs.”

Randall Swearingen, the President and CEO of Swearingen Software commends the College Park Family Care Center for its charitable contributions to their area. “We are very proud to be able to support College Park Family Care Center and their community by providing them with our state-of-the-art RIS. Selecting a winner from the contest entries was a tough job but we feel that we made the right choice. I look forward to seeing the positive impact that our RIS will have on their department.”
