STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 22, 2007 -- The St. Joseph’s Neighborhood Center in Rochester, N.Y., relies on 160 volunteers to provide healthcare services that cover more than 3,000 uninsured or underinsured patients - or 18,000 visits - every year.

Yet every single appointment has to be scheduled in a plain old paper calendar by hand.

That’s about to change, thanks to Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX) employee Patrick Waara. He’s spending the next year at St. Joseph’s to build a new computerized system for appointment and volunteer scheduling and all patient records, bringing a whole new level of efficiency to the nonprofit organization. 'I can’t wait to see the productivity gains,' Waara says."
