We’re sending out smoke signals.
We’ve consulted the ancient tablets.
We need to have the talk—about pagers.
Yes, those beeping, belt-clipping, time-traveling devices from the ‘80s are… well, nearly extinct. But we’ll be kind and say, they are finally being retired.
If you’re still using a pager, don’t panic. We have support groups on standby, and we have put together a team to help you transition from these relics into the 21st century.
The ‘80s were a great decade, we get it. But if you’re still wearing parachute pants and using a pager, we don’t want to accidentally disconnect a crucial lifeline for you. Therefore, please click below and fill out this quick form to let us know if you’re still using a pager. If filling out a form is too technical, call us at 856.968.8662 or email informatics@cooperhealth.edu – we’re here to help you.
Maybe you just collect ‘80s memorabilia and have a pager collecting dust in your office. We’re being charged for that ancient artifact from yesteryear. So, do us a favor—drop it off at the Medical Informatics office (Dorrance 119A/B) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or send it via interoffice mail to:
Medical Informatics – Dorrance 119A.
If we don’t hear from you by March 31, 2025, please note that your pager will officially join the ranks of the extinct ‘80s items such as the mullet, Members Only jackets, Jordache jeans, Atari Pong, the Walkman, dial-up internet, and floppy disks.
Thanks for embracing the future with us and helping us close the book on this beep-filled era. May the pager R.I.P. or, rather, enjoy its very well-deserved retirement.
Thank you,
Your Medical Informatics and IT Teams
