Improve your customer experience with a fully managed TV Rental solution from Hills Health.
TV rental keeps patients entertained as they recover from illness or injury. The average consumer turns the television on for six to eight hours a day, but hospital TV’s typically run for over 11 hours each day, making them an excellent tool for hospitals to share educational information as well as differentiate their brand from other healthcare providers.
