Feedback from our customers
Great team to work with, knowledgeable, agile, fast, friendly.
I like how EPG Health has provided a variety of options for content development/delivery that is tailored to our specific Learning Zone. I recently made this request and was offered a brochure of options that felt very much specific to our needs.
The team was good at listening and adapting to our requests. They were very available. The project management was very good.
I appreciate the fact that they provide input and suggestions and try their best to think with me on finding solutions or best approach for our Learning Zone. It feels like a team effort.
We have funded [a Learning Zone] for 2 years and the content is a nice mix of videos and articles. I like the information in one place with different resources.
