It has "old-world southern charm," is home to bluegrass, bourbon, the University of Kentucky and NCAA champions the Kentucky Wildcats and above all, horses. Known as the "horse capital of the world," Lexington made recent headlines when Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah, won the prestigious 2015 Breeder's Cup Classic at Keeneland Racecourse. With all of these accolades, it should come as no surprise that Lexington is a great place to live, work and play. Add a dash of topnotch healthcare, and there's no reason to leave.

"Throughout my 10 years at Stryker Communications, I've had the pleasure of working on many projects with Stephen Strobridge at HTC," said John Michaelides, Stryker territory manager. Michaelides continued, "HTC produces a great product that will work with any piece of equipment that requires mounting. Given the opportunity, I would work with HTC on every project; their knowledge and profes- sionalism is without question the best I have ever worked with." Setting yet another stage for success, Stryker supplied its FLEXIS Tandem Boom Confi gurations. Accompanied by HTC pro- viding 48 Tandem Header Mounted Accu- Mount Support Systems, along with 96 cus- tom riser bracket assemblies, UK Healthcare had been delivered a grand performance. "HTC has a great product with their Accu-Mount Support Systems," said Judy O. Pelfrey, senior healthcare facilities planner at UK Healthcare. "Their systems have been installed in our emergency department, pa- tient care facility, numerous ORs, pathology lab and patient rooms." Pelfrey further added, "Steve's great to work with. He's knowledgeable, he listens and he invests his time and ef ort into a proj- ect from start to fi nish." The sentiment is mutual with Strobridge, president of HTC. "Customer satisfaction and maintaining relationships are key building blocks of our business," says Strobridge. "UK healthcare is a world-class academic medical center and it's been a pleasure to work with such an amazing and talented group of people over the years. I look forward to future opportu- nities with UK Healthcare. For more information about Accu-Mount Support Systems, visit healthcaretec.com.
