No word on whether all of us CUU investors will be in care homes (or worse) by the time a Schaft Creek sale occurs.
Teck funds study on how bacteria-killing copper can reduce infection risk in care homes
Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), Teck Resources and VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation are partnering to study how antimicrobial copper can be used to prevent infections and improve health outcomes in three long-term care homes across the VCH region. Funded by Teck, it will be the first study of its size in Canada.
Teck has provided C$750,000 in funding through its Copper & Health program for the research study that includes the installation of more than 600 antimicrobial copper products on high-touch surfaces including door handles, cabinet pulls, faucet handles, flush levers, fridge handles and grab bars in shared spaces at Minoru Residence in Richmond, Berkley Care Centre in North Vancouver and Purdy Pavilion in Vancouver.
