THANK YOU

In review, it is hardly possible to capture all the amazing events that the members of
NADDI have accomplished in thirty years. The memories and friendships made have
left their mark on so many lives. The NADDI Historical Committee has attempted to

highlight so many important milestones within these pages and share them with
our members. We invite you to share your most important memories of NADDI with
us at the 30th Anniversary Reception on Wednesday October 13, 2019 at the Cypress
Villa. We will also have a photo booth there to capture many new memories. We look

forward to seeing you!

Special thanks to our Historical Committee Members and to all of the NADDI
members who supplied pictures, stories and information to create this booklet.

and systems to get a single medication safely to a patient is daunting. But there’s a better way, one that helps
hospitals get all the players, parts and processes on the same page. At the heart of it is the BD HealthSight™
Platform, our integrated approach that connects the BD Alaris™ and BD Pyxis™ solutions with each other—and
with the EMR. The result? Improved efficiency and greater visibility across your enterprise, so you can get
back to what matters most: your patients. Discover medication management that takes less management.
