     The contract between Wyndgate and Valley General Hospital was developed

 management system.

 in the blood banking industry and we look forward to working with its
 system. One of the primary reasons that we chose Wyndgate's SafeTrace Tx
 transfusion management system is that we believe the extensive safety
 checks throughout the software will help us enhance our patient safety --
 which is a priority at Valley General Hospital."
