If you’ve been around us at Cielo MedSolutions (www.cielomedsolutions.com), you’ve probably heard us on more than one occasion belabor the pronunciation of our company name (“see EL oh”) –- which is a bit Americanized from the more proper Spanish pronunciation. But what you may not have heard is the meaning behind our name, which is kind of cool. In Spanish, “cielo” translates to mean both sky and heaven. It’s from the Latin root of the same spelling and meaning. So in French (another Latin language), sky is “ciel,” and based on this we better understand the derivation of the word “ceiling” in English. Well gee, thanks, Dr. Linguist, you may be thinking, what’s the point? When Dave Morin (http://www.cielomedsolutions.com/about-leadership.asp) and I launched the business in 2005, we wanted a company name that was evocative of dramatic improvement in the field of healthcare. We were looking for a name that suggested a positive, upward-trending future. We felt that “Cielo” evoked that feeling beautifully, while the accompanying “MedSolutions” connotes that our company is in the business of actually solving real-world problems –- and substantively helping healthcare providers by delivering useful solutions to today's challenges in clinical quality management. We hope Cielo's simple sunburst logo ties it all together. Jim Price Chairman & Cofounder Cielo MedSolutions
