SALISBURY, MD – October 25, 2021 – Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore approved a grant of $5,000 to help fund the purchase of three “workstations on wheels,” also called “WOWs” for Coastal Hospice at the Lake and the Macky & Pam Stansell House. These units are extremely helpful for accessing electronic medical records (EMR) systems and enhance the safe handling and administration of medications, especially regarding the near-industry standard of bar code scanning. The system also eliminates paper use and copier expense while helping to prevent errors in medication distribution.
