Case Study: The Phoenix Residence achieves secure, reliable Wi-Fi and better data protection with WatchGuard

Care Facility Protects and Empowers with Secure Wi-Fi

The Phoenix Residence, a non-profit healthcare organization serving people with disabilities across 19 care facilities in St. Paul, Minnesota, needed to move from paper-based processes to electronic payroll, scheduling, and medication management while protecting sensitive patient data. As its reliance on digital systems grew, the organization turned to WatchGuard for secure network and Wi-Fi infrastructure, including Firebox T35 firewalls and secure access points.

WatchGuard implemented Firebox T35 firewalls with Total Security Suite subscriptions, along with AP200 and AP325 access points to provide stable wireless coverage for staff and residents. The result was better uptime, secure access to servers and medical data, and reliable Wi-Fi that supported daily operations and new quality-of-life technologies for residents. Phoenix Residence also reported a major efficiency gain from automation, saving personnel one full day of work every two weeks on payroll processing.
