Getting Close

There are just details left to finish in the new hospital, and we're nearing the move-in date, November 5. We will be closing the Outpatient Department November 4-6 so that we can all help with last-minute preparations. We'll actually move the new patients on the 5th, and keep working on things on the 6th, especially the new Outpatient Department.

Here are some photos of the folks who have been helping Judy with stocking various areas in the new hospital with supplies. As most of you know, Judy manages the medical storeroom, where she sorts and distributes or stores donated supplies. She's been saving up the things that will be needed in the new hospital. For many things, since the old areas will remain in use right up until we actually move patients, we can't take supplies away from there. So she'd been saving up, and stocking the new areas so that they will be ready by the day of the move.

Judy has recruited people from different departments to come and help select supplies which will go into their new areas. A lot of staff members have been working to determine which cupboards, drawers or shelves will contain what items, getting them labled, and then moving the actual supplies there.

  2. Thanks, Jennifer. We discover more and more everyday that has to be done, planned for, thought out, arranged. But we're determined to move at long last!
