Real Organizations Using Pulse

See how nonprofits and care providers are transforming their operations with client feedback.

National Health Foundation

Los Angeles, CA

1,700+
pieces of feedback over 2 years

NHF works in environments where power dynamics can prevent honest feedback—people may not feel safe saying what's real.

"We have a power problem… I have power over every person who comes to our facilities… Pulse For Good takes that away… so our guests can answer questions without anybody knowing who they are."

Pulse helped NHF capture more detail and address issues early—before they became bigger problems.

"[Pulse For Good] takes the place of a full-time employee and it's way cheaper."

— Kelly Bruno, CEO, National Health Foundation

Catholic Community Services of Utah

Salt Lake City, UT

7,000+
pieces of feedback over 4 years

CCS needed feedback that wouldn't just "sit on a desk"—they needed something they could track daily, spot trends with, and use to improve real services.

"What was important… was to not let that information sit on a desk… we needed to use it to track trends…"

Pulse gave CCS ongoing insight into what clients are dealing with and helped them understand real needs in real time.

"These are things I've been dreaming of doing for years."

— Matthew Melville, Homeless Services Director

Triumph Treatment Services

Washington State

4,700+
pieces of feedback in the last year

Staff were serving people dealing with mental health and substance use disorders. Without a safe channel for honest feedback, misunderstandings and frustration can build.

"It has given the patients a safe way to share serious concerns as well as heartfelt gratitude…"

Triumph is now considering doubling staff in key areas based on feedback insights.

"The biggest value is that our patients recognize that we really do want to hear from them."

— Robin Appling, President of Human Resources

Valley Behavioral Health

Utah

21,000+
pieces of feedback over 4 years

Their previous survey process was manual, slow, and basically disappeared into a shared folder.

"They were done on paper… submitted… typed… stowed in a shared folder drive, and we never saw them again… The data wasn't very good… It was old. It was just hidden away."

Pulse created in-the-moment feedback that required almost no staff effort to capture or manage.

"It's in the moment data… low effort for the support staff… They just tap on it and it works, and I can read it."

— Melissa Edgeworth, Director of Administrative Services

The Road Home

Utah

13,000+
pieces of feedback over 4 years

They needed a way to capture raw, unsolicited feedback from guests without requiring constant oversight.

"We have been able to directly identify key areas of improvement… improvements to cleaning processes, case management interactions, and front-line staff…"

Feedback helped identify improvements in how security teams were interacting with guests.

"Pulse For Good's kiosks are an excellent tool for gathering direct feedback from clients and guests."

— Dee Norton, Impact and Facilities Director

Why Pulse Works

Backed by research. Proven in the field.

On-Site, In-the-Moment

Kiosks collect feedback at the moment of service—when people are actually there and experiences are fresh.

Privacy Increases Honesty

Anonymous feedback removes fear of retaliation—especially critical for sensitive topics and vulnerable populations.

Always Available

24/7 availability means feedback flows continuously—no surveys to send, no links to distribute, no phone trees to manage.

Links Underperform

Research shows link-based surveys consistently get lower response rates than on-site collection methods.

Data-Driven Decisions

Real-time dashboards turn raw feedback into actionable insights—so leadership can respond to trends, not just anecdotes.

Voices Often Unheard

Kiosks reach people who don't respond to emails or phone calls—giving a voice to those most impacted by your services.

One-line takeaway: Kiosks win because they're always available in the moment of service—and privacy increases honesty.
