NORTH BATTLEFORD — Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation has received a $10,000 donation from Cenovus Energy to the Foundation's Medication Matters capital campaign.
This campaign aims to raise $916,000 to acquire Pyxis MedStations, state-of-the-art automated medication dispensing systems.
With the implementation of Pyxis MedStations, BUH will be better equipped to ensure accurate and timely medication administration, reducing the risk of errors and improving patient outcomes, according to a BUH Foundation press release.
Pyxis MedStations are automated medication dispensing systems that provide secure storage, inventory management and real-time tracking of medications. These systems use barcode scanning and advanced software to ensure accuracy and accountability in the medication administration process.
"We are incredibly grateful for Cenovus Energy's donation," said Leanne Ducommun, executive director of BUH Foundation.
"Their support brings us one step closer to reaching our fundraising goal and acquiring the vital Pyxis MedStations. This technology will greatly enhance medication safety and improve patient care at Battlefords Union Hospital."
The BUH Foundation's Medication Matters campaign has been met with tremendous support from the community, and Cenovus Energy's contribution further strengthens the momentum, Doucommun says.
