New! in the BCMH Pharmacy

New! in the BCMH Pharmacy, a remodel and addition to the "clean room". Completed in 2020, the remodel allows the hospital to continue providing treatments for cancer patients, a valuable service for our community that allows a patient to receive chemotherapy and other infusion treatments close to home.

The project included the construction of a new, negative-pressure room as well as a remodel of the pharmacy’s clean room. 

This provided the appropriate separation of storing and processing hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, ensuring the safety of our patients and staff.
