💙 Your Donation Dollars at Work!

Thanks to generous donor support, the Cancer Center now has a BD HD Check Analyzer — a tool that helps keep patients, staff, and visitors safe.

This analyzer quickly checks for hazardous drug residue from commonly used chemotherapy medications. Before, staff had to send samples out for testing and wait for results. Now, results come back in just 10 minutes, allowing the team to monitor surfaces more often and ensure cleaning is effective.

Mahalo for helping us create a safer environment for everyone! 🌺
