Trusted by Parks & Recreation Leaders
Real stories from departments using Ankored to simplify safety, protect their communities, and reduce administrative stress.
“Brookline Parks & Recreation strives to prevent injuries whenever possible, but we recognize that accidents cannot be eliminated entirely. The next best step in keeping our participants safe is ensuring timely access to their medical information when care is needed.
Recently, a young participant required emergency care. Our on-site program manager was able to access the participant’s medical forms digitally and securely in Ankored within moments, allowing the triage nurse to reference critical information immediately. This outcome represents a win for our participants, their guardians, and our staff.”
