Mender laboratory Mist ory The Bender Hygienic Laboratory was founded as a non-profit making institu- tion in 1895 by a group of prominent Albanians who served as its first Board of Trustees. In the beginning, the institution served as the department of pathology and bacteriology for the Albany Medical College and its first directors were also pro- fessors of these subjects in the school. Later it was felt that the laboratory could serve a wider sphere by existing as an independent institution. Its present policy is to make adequate competent medical laboratory service available to the hospitals and physicians of Albany and surrounding vicinity at an inexpensive cost. At present Bender Laboratory serves as the pathology department for the Brady Maternity Hospital, Child’s Hospital, Memorial and St. Peters Hospitals and also the Cohoes Hospital. For many years, through an agreement with the Albany City Health De- partment, the laboratory provided the Health Department with the necessary medical laboratory facilities which it required for the control of sanitation and com- municable disease. Through this agreement certain tests were made available to residents of Albany without charge; these included tests for evidence of diphtheria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid, dysentery, gonorrhea, syphilis, malaria, meningitis, undulant fever and others. Various original papers have been published from the institution as a result of research carried on by members of the staff. The Blood Bank was formally opened July 18, 1949 and at the present time is supplying the needs of ten hospitals in the Capital District. In 1951 the Bank made its services available to the Albany Chapter of the American National Red Cross for the collection of blood for the Armed Forces, and since that time has been collecting approximately 100 pints of blood each week for this purpose. The Laboratory actively participates in the teaching field. Glasses are held in the building throughout each school year for Medical Technology students from Albany Pharmacy College and nurses in training at Memorial and St. Peters Hospitals. The Lab also offers Resident training in Pathology for Graduates of Class A Medical Schools. We, as Medical Technicians, left A.C.P. in our Junior year to enter the mysteries of such subjects as Serology, Hematology, Bacteriology, Clinical Pathology, Bio- chemistry, Histology and Sterilization and Media. Then we entered our Senior year of practical training to spend six weeks in each of the various departments. Although we had some tense moments when w;e faced our first blood donor and autopsy (no connection) and sometimes wandered endlessly through the halls of St. Peters trying to unscramble room numbers, our worst fears were realized when we encountered our final hurdle- the Registry exam. « 22 »
