No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Stamps Health Services Clinical Laboratory and Radiology Services have made acquisitions in equipment that has greatly reduced the potential for negative impact on the environment.
In the laboratory, a wet chemistry instrument was replaced by a chemistry instrument that utilizes Dry Slide Technology. This eliminates the use of liquid chemical preparations entirely and employs a reagent embedded dry wafer for analysis that can be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
In the radiology department, acquisition of a digital radiography system has eliminated the need for a wet chemistry processor (developer) used for film based radiography thus eliminating a respiratory hazard, spill and heavy metal hazard.
