Auxiliary Donates Fund to Purchase Pill Counter for Pharmacy



Eyecon Automatic Pill Counter

Memorial Hospital Auxiliary’s 2023 Tree of Remembrance fund drive raised a total of $11,415. The Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Board would like to thank those who donated to the Tree of Remembrance! The Auxiliary is able to assist the hospital in purchasing needed equipment for various departments through the community's generous donations/memorials. Funds collected this year was used to purchase an Eyecon Automatic Pill Counter for the hospital Pharmacy Department.


This piece of equipment takes an image of the pills, numbers them and stores it with the prescription so our pharmacy staff can refer back to it. Some of the features included is a drug identification software that matches the bar code on the prescription label to the shape and color of what is placing on the counter. After identification of the type of medication, the machine will then go on to count and double check the pills prior to dispensing into the prescription bottle. The Eyecon Automatic Pill Counter focuses on patient safety, enhances customer satisfaction, and helps ease the workload on the Pharmacy Department. The cost of this purchase was $11,415.00.
