Cartoon by Dr Michelle Au from her actually quite awesome website http://theunderweardrawer.blogspot.com/ HosPortal healthcare scheduling software is increasingly in demand for managing physicians and general medicine rosters.

Customers that had not previously enabled SMS messaging will get a fair use allowance of SMS for free. We hope this will make the communication with doctors easier and more efficient.
