Skokie, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/02/2009 -- SNET Communications, a leading provider of Hosted Telephony Solutions based in Rosemont, IL, donated Cisco equipment worth more than $35,000 to Howard Brown Health Center in their recent migration to the SNET Hosted PbX platform.
SNET was able to seamlessly integrate their existing mulit site locations into one comprehensive network for voice and data traffic - saving the organization over 20% in operating budget per year.
Founded in 1974, Howard Brown is now one of the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) organizations. With an annual budget of over $15 million, the agency serves more than 28,000 adults and youth each year in its diverse health and social service delivery system focused around seven major programmatic divisions: primary medical care, behavioral health, research, HIV/STD prevention, youth services, elder services, and community initiatives. Howard Brown is a multi-site operation based in Chicago and includes a main health and research center in the Uptown neighborhood, Triad Health practice at Illinois Masonic Hospital, the Broadway Youth Center, and three Brown Elephant resale shops in Chicago and Oak Park.
