A New Laboratory

Thanks to the generosity of AGAT Labs, of Calgary,Alberta, we are now able to do various basic tests for diagnosis of frequently seen diseases and conditions.

RoseMarie Nielson, of Canadian Blood Services, also from Calgary, volunteered to come down and set up the lab and train a person to use the microscope and various other testing strips and devices.

Floridalia Mazariego, our clinic staff person, has rapidly caught on to the procedures and shows strong abilities in this area.

Here Floridalia practices preparing a sample of blood for viewing under the microscope.

Roxanne Walsh of Calgary, our most recent visitor to Project Ix-canaan, volunteered to bring with her a shipment of medicines paid for by Friends of Ix-canaan, and eye medications donated by Sonja Hagemann, all of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
