Growing up, we doused our Mom’s magical sauces on everything. Her bold, vibrant flavors ignited our lifelong passion for food, and now we’re on a mission to share that same magic with your table. Maazah was founded by sisters Yasameen and Sheilla Sajady, first-generation Afghan Americans, who were inspired by the flavors of their Mom’s kitchen. Her sauces, crafted with love and creativity, sparked the vision to bring authentic Middle Eastern tastes to a wider audience. What began with slingin’ Mom’s magic green sauce at local farmers markets in Minnesota has since blossomed into a nationwide movement. At Maazah, we aim to reimagine Middle Eastern cuisine, transforming everyday meals into fresh, unforgettable experiences, and sharing the magic of our culture with every bite.

Hospitals are inundated with new technologies – new technologies that are difficult to use and often make care more difficult to deliver. But, we are determined to solve problems, not create them. Eloquence delivers technology that is not scary, not complicated and very easy to use – even by patients feeling the stress of a hospital stay. From the very beginning, Eloquence solutions have been designed from the point of view of nurses and patients and we have spent more than 4 years working with patients and nurses to design a system that works for them. Dr. Lance Patak, CEO of Eloquence, reiterates his passion about solving the problem of language barriers in healthcare, “Nursing administrators and the executive staff at these healthcare facilities are the gatekeepers for this vulnerable patient population to have access to a solution that will positively impact their outcomes, yet these same gatekeepers are constantly inundated with over-promised and under-delivered systems. Along with increasing healthcare costs, these gatekeepers are quite challenged. What is refreshing to see is the consistent response we witness by health care administrators and executive staff. One CIO was so impressed stating, ‘Finally, a vendor who got it right. Eloquence not only makes a distinction, it makes a difference.’ And the difference is relevant, not incremental, as it has been. Eloquence Communications gladly provides demonstrations and information about their new technology and solutions. 855.422.3567 sales@eloquencecomm.com
