Well, thanks to those wicked storms last night, our internet is out and is expected to be back by 5PM tonight. Unfortunately, our phone lines run through the internet. Bottom line: NWIM has no phones and will not be able to call you nor receive your calls today. NWIM will not have a functioning EHR.
