“The ADVANCE website is full of relevant tips and tricks for respiratory care professionals, including a deep library of multimedia presentations fit for a variety of audiences. The home sleep testing video was incredibly informative. We plan to use it to educate customers and patients we provide CPAP or other sleep therapy services to, as well as other professionals and our own staff. In this day and age, you have to maintain a first rate Web site with rich content and timely updates to be relevant. ADVANCE has done just that and I can't wait to further promote the site directly to the patient and professional populations who will benefit most from it.”

“Whether it is their own articles or stories they have cited from other sources, the ADVANCE Twitter page provides important, accurate, up-to-date information regarding respiratory health that benefits both patients and healthcare professionals. I appreciate the medical information and, more importantly, I appreciate the perspectives they provide on the patient's experience with a particular disease. It helps me remember that although I cannot always fix the problem, I am responsible for helping patients cope and live with their condition.”
