Better Communication Becomes Better Care
Cunningham Children’s Home, Urbana, Illinois Providing care 24/7 for the most vulnerable children requires a dedicated team of caring professionals and the right technology to support them. With an IT staff of one, Cunningham Children’s Home needed a computing solution that was easy to manage, easy to use, and low cost. They turned to Wyse thin clients to centralize applications and secure information, so staff members could share updates and reports more easily.

Established in 1895 as an orphanage, Cunningham Children’s Home has become a multifaceted social-service organization for children and youth from the state of Illinois with emotional, behavioral and neurological disorders. The non-profit organization provides primary care to about 165 children on the main campus, as well as in community-based group homes, a day treatment academy, independent and transitional living facilities, and foster care. Their community includes children as well as pregnant young women and new mothers.

""I think Wyse thin clients are a very good fit for our facilities. I’ve looked at other thin clients and ways to achieve better management and lower cost. I’m very happy with how Wyse has performed with the management costs."
