Countdown to Vic Hospital Radiothon: time to get rid of archaic pharmacy equipment
The community can play a major role in replacing archaic and inefficient pharmacy equipment at Prince Albert’s Victoria Hospital.
The 12th Annual Give a Little Life Day radiothon – Bringing Good Medicine – runs from 6 a.m. till 6 p.m. Friday across all three Jim Pattison stations: CKBI, XFM and Power 99.
The fundraising goal of the hospital foundation is $400,000 to replace the antiquated pill counting and packaging system.
“Oh my Lord, we have do something about this,” foundation executive director Sherry Buckler said after a recent tour of the old equipment. “The best thing we can do for our pharmacists is free them up, because we need them.”
