The Westlock Healthcare Centre recently received a generous donation from the late Pete Tymko. The donations would fund three new Omnicell medication dispensing units for the new facility.
His long-term partner, Adeline Peake, met with the site manager to discuss the best way for the funds to be used. Peake used her background in chemistry to find something that would support the staff and how they deliver patient care.
Omnicell medication dispensing units are used to keep medication organized and secure, making it faster and more accurate for staff to get them out. The high tech system keeps track of everything, limiting any errors that might occur. The units are estimated to be installed later this year with a plaque that honours Tymko.
Megan McCoy-McLevin, the site manager for Westlock Healthcare Centre says, “They save nurses time, increase patient safety, and make the process of giving medication smoother and more accurate.”
She thanks Tymko and his family for their donation, “These Omnicell medication dispensing units will improve patient care of all that come in.”
Peake spoke about the incredible work the lawyer and accountant did during the process.
