pleased to announce that the Calgary Health Region's Foothills
Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta has implemented its CALM

some 4400 babies annually. "We have chosen to introduce the CALM
system at Foothills in order to provide the best possible care for
mothers and infants," said Dr. Ian Lange, Chair of Obstetrics for
the Calgary Health Region. "The introduction of this world-class
technology, provided through the support of the Calgary Health
Trust, will help us pursue our tradition of innovation and
commitment to clinical excellence." "The Foothills represents a

of LMS. "We will be working together to document the value provided
to the obstetrical practice and to share the impact with users
throughout North America." About Foothills Medical Centre: The
