Donor-funded phlebotomy cart improves wait times for lab results

Thanks to donors like you, Mercy Health Foundation Irvine recently acquired a phlebotomy cart

The new cart enhances the lab experience at Mercy Health - Marcum and Wallace Hospital for all
Three lab staff members at Mercy Health - Marcum and Wallace Hospital pose with a new phlebotomy cart.

When collecting lab specimens, nothing is as useful as a phlebotomy cart. It's a rolling cart that can move from patient to patient, which may not sound like a big deal, but it is! It means that lab staff can keep medical supplies, tools and storage space within arm's reach.

The ability to organize and transport supplies with ease makes a huge difference. For example, it eliminates staff's zigzagging between the lab and patient collection rooms. This not only reduces wait times for patients while at the hospital, but it also reduces the processing times for results! Because lab staff can be more efficient, it enhances the entire patient experience.

That's the kind of impact you have when you give to Mercy Health Foundation Irvine. It may start with a dollar, but that dollar adds up to must-have equipment. And that means better days for both patients and providers. Thank you for your support!
