The Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, WA was putting the finishing touches to a major facilities expansion. It came to Tour-Mate looking for a way to provide a tour of its new facilities to staff, donors/patrons, and the community at large. The hospital was looking to provide a large number of self-guided tours during a short, 10 day time frame.
Good Samaritan had a third party producer create its audio content and Tour-Mate provided a large SC550 system as the platform to provide the content to visitors. To minimize system set up and tear down, all the Charger/Programmer modules were factory installed into rolling, shock mounted, shipper cabinets. Installation required locating the cabinets near electrical outlets, removing protective, front cabinet cover panels and placing the SC550 Listening Wands into the charger pockets. Removal of the system was equally quick. The use of shock mounted shipper cabinets reduced system installation and removal times to under two hours, and resulted in considerable cost savings and logistical support efforts required from the hospital.
