About Festival of Trees
2016’s Festival of Trees raised $950,000. Over the years in total, the event has raised $13,880,513.00!
Funds raised from this year’s Festival will be used to purchase new technology and equipment in two lab departments, Hematology and Microbiology. Festival 2017 funds will also allow for the purchase of new digital technology, called automated digital cell morphology, to further automate the reading of blood films that aid in the diagnosis of different types of blood conditions.
This new technology will reduce the time it takes to process the samples for testing by 50%. This savings will allow the lab to better utilize its valuable staff resources in the face of an ever-increasing workload, plus will feature automated competency assessments. Ultimately, patient care will receive the benefits of this important technology at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
