There's much more to explore, including an introduction to Hannah McGuire, one of our newest sales representatives and Anita Bekavac our new National Sales Manager for Canada. So take a break, relax, and enjoy our March newsletter!

As 2024 comes to a close, all of us at Waterloo Healthcare want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our valued distributor partners and customers. Your trust and collaboration are the foundation of our success, and we are truly thankful for your continued support. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with so many of you throughout the year at various industry conferences (AHRMM, ENA, and HSPA, etc.). Your insights and enthusiasm continue to inspire us as we work together to provide the best medical cart solutions in the healthcare industry.

Welcome to our fall 2024 newsletter! We have been so busy over the past few months, and in this edition, you’ll learn about all of our recent adventures. The Waterloo Healthcare team really enjoys getting out and seeing our clients, as well as sharing information about our industry-leading medical carts. In the past few months, they represented our company at the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Conference and AHRMM event, and showed booth visitors the features of our Code Carts and Substance Carts, and explained the great features of our Electronic Locks (eLocks).

Lots has been happening at Waterloo Healthcare since our last newsletter. We joined many of you at the HSPA conference in Las Vegas. Had a wonderful time reconnecting with several of our distributors as well as our Sterile Processing customers who are on the front lines when it comes to managing their hospitals’ code cart fleet. Without their support, a cart is just a cart…so thank you for all you do to keep our carts at the ready to help your staff save lives!

Our article below, “Enhancing Hospital Efficiency: Advantages of Wi-Fi Capable Electronic Locks on Procedure Carts”, strives to shed some light on this topic. Electronic locks have become increasingly more popular as hospitals address medication security concerns. Electronic locks allow for automatic relocking – the ability to restrict access to specific users as well as the capture of audit trails that can show who has accessed a given cart. Audit trails give vital information that helps to enhance the security of medications, syringes, and other “at risk” supply items (saline flushes, etc.).
