Case Study: Samaritan Health achieves a modernized network and improved patient experience with Extreme Networks

Healthcare Center Meets New Tech Demands with Next Gen Infrastructure

Samaritan Health, a multi-site healthcare provider centered on a 260‑bed main campus with seven additional locations and roughly 2,700 employees, faced growing network complexity from an influx of IoT devices and a sharp rise in telehealth and isolation requirements during COVID‑19. To modernize its infrastructure, Samaritan partnered with Extreme Networks and deployed ExtremeSwitching, Extreme Management Center, ExtremeWireless and ExtremeCloud™ IQ to support expanded connectivity, split ICU operations and rapid capacity changes.

Extreme Networks’ solution delivered PoE switching, centralized management and reliable wireless across sites, enabling faster transfer of large imaging files, consistent remote connectivity and simplified moves/adds/changes (M/A/C). The result: measurable time and cost savings for Samaritan’s five‑person IT team, quicker telehealth scaling, improved patient experience and better operational visibility—outcomes Samaritan credits directly to Extreme Networks’ products and support.
