Peach Tree Health

Peach Tree Health, a network of Federally Qualified Health Centers, provides comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health services throughout Northern California. Operating eight health centers and two mobile dental clinics serving over 27,000 patients, Peach Tree Health’s mission is to extend personalized, high-quality care to the community, bridging a gap in health care access for many of the area’s most underserved populations.

Like all medical office environments, protecting patient speech privacy at Peach Tree Health’s locations is critical. Patients and staff have hundreds of sensitive discussions regarding medical information and treatment every day; and to provide the best environment for patient care it’s imperative they feel those conversations aren’t being overheard by unintended listeners. Protecting speech privacy is particularly important in reception areas and exam rooms where patients and staff are most likely to interact.

With the expansion of new locations, Greg Stone, Chief Executive Officer for Peach Tree Health, wanted to seek alternative sound abatement solutions for the newest clinic in North Sacramento. “In the past we have used other sound absorbing or blocking materials, and sometimes found them to be either ineffective or costly or both,” stated Stone. “Since protecting speech privacy is vitally important to our business and patient privacy concerns are everywhere throughout a medical facility, we needed an effective and budget friendly solution.”
