*All funds from Serrano’s will be used for patient room upgrades at Chandler Regional to replace older CRT TVs with new flat panel TVs that interact with specialized software. Besides movies, music, and TV shows, patients will have a wider range of technology available to them, such as access to the Web, e-mail, educational videos, surveys, service requests, and a recap of physician and check-out instructions.
**All funds from the Yoga-Zumba-A-Thon will go toward the purchase of a Bioptics Digital Specimen Radiography System for Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. This innovative equipment reduces patient time in the operating room.
