Bassett Hospital RN Nan Root is in Morant Bay, Jamaica, this month, delivering an anesthesia machine to Prince Margaret Hospital there.
Root had spent January 2010 at Prince Margaret through Bassett and Hartwick College’s Partnership for Nursing Opportunities program and noticed the anesthesia machine in use was out of date.
On returning to Otsego County, she discovered the anesthesia machine that belonged to Bassett’s O’Connor Hospital in Delhi was being replaced with an upgraded model.
The hospital agreed to donate the machine, and the challenge became how to get the 550-pound piece of equipment – crated, it weighed over 700 pounds – from Cooperstown to Morant Bay.
