As BWH staff continue to deploy to Haiti, many hospital employees are helping out from here in Boston. Over the holiday weekend, Security, Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacy, Materials Management and Anesthesiology teamed up to make two anesthesia machines with monitors available for pick-up by Partners In Health to take to Haiti.
The process was complex, but all involved went above and beyond to ensure the machines were on the loading dock Sunday afternoon. In addition, they assembled medications, epidural and spinal kits, laryngoscopes and batteries for Partners In Health. An anesthesiologist from MGH planned to pick up additional medications from the BWH Pharmacy on the way to Haiti Monday.
