Where did this all come from?!?!

/in /by CAMTA

As our patients, one by one, head home from the hospital the task of gathering, sorting and packing the supplies begins in earnest.  Blanca Quintana, from Quito, was the last patient to leave this morning.  While sad to see her go, we are happy and hopeful that her new hip will give her mobility back.

The ward tracking board is empty, ready for next year.

Supplies and equipment are stored throughout the hospital while the Mission is ongoing.  Now that our work is complete, all of the inventory has to be stored in the hospital warehouse or brought home to Edmonton.     

Team members sort, count, list and pack everything that is staying in Quito or being returned to Canada.  
 
The contents of each hockey bag are documented as it gets packed.  Each bag is also weighed so that it does not exceed the maximum weight allowance by the airline.
