ClearPoint Instruction LLC is a company that was founded by Mary Ann Parlin in January of 2006. The purpose of this company is to create pamphlets and DVD’s to inform patients on health related issues, for example, pregnancies, surgeries etc.

While working for a hospital Marry Ann found that that people who were educated on the process they were about to receive, recovered faster, were happier overall, and also referred people back to the hospital or doctor who gave the surgery. On the other hand people who were uneducated were less happy and recovered slower after their surgery.

Senior Vice President Preston Parker said, “ClearPoint provides a way where people can get familiar with what is going to happen, and hopefully make for an overall better experience during and after the surgery.” ClearPoint is already working with clients including Mountain West Physical Therary, and Cache Valley Specialty Hospital. So far, ClearPoint has pamphlets about the pregnancy wheel, an inpatient surgery DVD, an outpatient surgery DVD, and two different Meniscus DVD’s, and also a Lumbar Fusion DVD. All of these things are no extra cost to the patients. ClearPoint is a company that makes their patients feel comfortable with a sometimes scary process.
