Patient care is improving at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, thanks to the recent addition of Polymerase Chain Reaction equipment in the clinical laboratory, which was generously funded thanks to donors. Pictured here are donors, Nancy and Graham Post (left and 2nd from right), along with (left to right) Georgia Carr, Manager, Clinical Lab, Jody Nesti, Chair, Board of Directors, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation, Wendy Gouliquer, Clinical Coordinator, Microbiology and Hilary McIver, Manager, Infection Control and Risk Management. Thanks to this new equipment, testing for antibiotic resistant infections like MRSA or VRE can now be done in as little as an hour, as opposed to 2-5 days, which is significant as patients can be treated sooner and removed from isolation when appropriate.
