North Battleford, SK - February 15, 2013 – Volunteers will once again be selling Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation Monthly Lottery tickets starting Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at BUH Main Lobby.

BUH Foundation is very proud to be involved with the installation of the Misterium Modular Clean Room in the Pharmacy Department at BUH.  Proceeds of the 2013-2014 Lottery will be allocated to purchase the camera component for one of the two state-of-the-art sterile work areas of this Clean Room.  The Clean Room will meet the ongoing challenge of ensuring medication accuracy and safety in both the preparation and labeling of chemotherapy and intravenous drugs, and offer a high level of quality assurance and expertise for chemotherapy patients at BUH. This unit is the very first of its kind to be installed anywhere in Canada making BUH a forerunner in the preparation of chemotherapy medications.
