The second full week of each October (13-19) is dedicated to celebrating the important role of Medical Device Reprocessing Departments (MDRD) across the country, just like the one at our Hospital.

The MDRD staff is made up of certified technicians that wash, inspect, assemble, wrap, sterilize and distribute instruments to the Operating Room and clinics throughout the Hospital. With a focus on patient safety and quality assurance, the proper reprocessing of reusable patient care items is more important than it ever has been.

Staff in the MDRD work almost 24/7 to make sure physicians, nurses and surgeons have the clean sterile instruments they need to provide exceptional care for every patient, every time.
