It takes many people to safely operate a hospital.

We’re pleased to introduce a new series of short videos offering a window into the teams and services that provide essential behind-the-scenes support at NHH.

Today, we’re bringing you along to see how our Medical Device Reprocessing (MDR) team prepares a tray for sterilization. MDR technicians play a vital role in ensuring medical instruments are safely prepared, sterilized, and stored, for patient care.

In this quick, timelapse video, you’ll see the step-by-step process that ensures medical equipment used throughout the hospital meets infection control standards and is safe for use.

We’re grateful for the MDR team and their exceptional service.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes spotlights coming soon.
