While his days are filled seeing adult patients at SSM St. Charles Clinic Medical Group on Highway K in O'Fallon, this energetic internist keeps a diagnostic eye on other needful patients halfway around the globe. Orissa is India's poorest state. Many residents own only the clothes on their backs, and health care, if available, is a luxury. Dr. Jyotirmaya "Jeetu" Nanda observed these conditions in 2003 while visiting relatives, and he felt compelled to try to make a difference. Since then, he has committed to bringing better eye care to the people of Orissa. Through the contributions of several entities, a trip was made to Orissa in 2004, during which time 150 people received cataract corrective surgeries and treatments.

It's a fairly common reward for five years of service, a clock to signify valuable time spent on the job contributing to a company's success.

This is a hotly debated topic across the social Web and the business world alike. However, despite the ongoing ROI debate, businesses are increasingly investing in online communities. In fact, 94% of the 400 companies surveyed for Deloitte's "2009 Trivialization of Business Study," which was released in October, planned to maintain or increase investment in social media tools and online communities.
