Arizona Health Center Standardizes Management With Brivo Access Control

Brivo Systems, leader in Software as a Service (SaaS) applications for security management, announced that Adelante Healthcare, a private non-profit located in Arizona, has standardized on Brivo for access control management at its current and future health care and administration facilities. Adelante Healthcare currently operates seven health centers throughout Maricopa County, offering a wide array of services to patients of all economic backgrounds. Accel Communications is the integrator for this expanding installation.

Larry Kadin, Facilities and Purchasing Manager at Adelante, and his team researched different access control providers, but after a Brivo representative provided a live demonstration of the Brivo technology to Kadin and staff from the HR and IT departments, “It was an easy sell at that point. I've not seen anything that comes close to what Brivo provides. And we're certainly not going to change in mid-stream. It's great, with one call to Accel, everything's taken care of,” explained Kadin referring to Adelante's initial decision and the roll-out of their upgraded access management.

Adelante has installed Brivo access control on 18 doors, including internal doors to IT rooms, at their seven facilities. They are currently planning to add at least six additional doors as more square footage comes online. “Going keyless has been great for our organization, we don't have security issues and breaches when we don't have all those keys out there,” Kadin said. “Now, we've got one person administering multiple sites from one web interface—that's huge for us. We have better records and better access to data, and we can provide needed information to other departments.”

To date, Adelante has issued access cards to over 200 employees at their seven facilities with the Brivo system. In addition to managing employee access, outside janitorial staff and property management staff are also programmed into the system and issued cards which offer them access when and where needed.
