Have you ever wondered how all the equipment in the hospital gets sterilized and placed in all those plastic wrappers? Somebody has to be working long hours to get all of that done, right? Of course right, and the people who do that are the central processing technicians. The week of October 11th through October 17th has been designated as National Central Processing Technicians Week. At Ashley Valley Medical Center there are two such technicians, Nancy Hicks and Wayne Dale. Nancy has been with AVMC for 24 years and has been a CP techni cian for 23 years. Wayne Dale joined her in Central Processing when he came to AVMC two years ago. "We enjoy our work," stated Hicks. "It's quiet and very clean working in central processing, and there is satisfaction knowing that we are making the hospital a safer and cleaner place for our patients." Ashley Valley Medical Center joins with National Central Processing Technicians Week in expressing ex-pressing their appreciation to Nancy and Wayne for all their hard work. jB&S3)(S)OPENING 9ai Steal (Mtmrob t A .i':;f.: J S ;:. .-, : ' wmftfBM ; , . i It's the Grand Opening of the new Deseret Industries locations in Layton, Tooele and Provo, Utah.
