Case Study: Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System achieves time savings and improved board engagement with BoardEffect

Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System - Customer Case Study

Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System faced an inefficient, paper-based board process—staff printed and hand-delivered 200‑page meeting books that were time-consuming to produce and often didn’t reach busy directors before meetings. Executive Assistant Karen Schroeder and the leadership team sought an electronic solution and implemented the BoardEffect platform to give board members reliable remote access to materials.

BoardEffect delivered immediate time savings in preparing and distributing board materials, enabled remote access for directors (one member accessed materials while delayed at an airport), and allowed the organization to expand content—what were 200‑page board books nearly doubled in size—while moving orientation and news/event posting online. The result was greater board engagement, a simpler onboarding process, and improved overall workflow thanks to BoardEffect.
