We sent summer out the right way last week - with great BBQ and time together as a team!

Our teams came together for our monthly lunches, this time featuring BBQ from a great new local spot. It was a chance to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy lunch together, and celebrate the end of another busy summer.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our team for everything you do each day!

The August 9 ADA compliance deadline is almost here. Is your facility ready?

Healthcare organizations subject to the ADA Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) accessibility standards must ensure they have accessible medical weighing equipment in place by August 9. These requirements are designed to improve access to care by enabling patients of all mobility levels to be weighed safely and comfortably.

DETECTO is here to help with a full lineup of accessible weighing solutions, including the industry's only NTEP-certified ADA wheelchair scale, designed to support both compliance and accurate patient care.

Don't wait until the deadline arrives - start preparing today.

Last week’s company lunches were a great chance to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy some good food, and spend time together as a team.

We also mixed in a few fun team-building games and were glad to have members of the Webb City Fire and Police Departments stop by and join us for lunch!

It’s always great to connect outside the normal work routine and spend time with the people who make Cardinal and DETECTO what they are. Thanks to everyone who helped make it a fun week!
