02. Hosp/HSC Admin Announcements
1. Division of Media Services change of service
Commencing June 14, 2005, the Division of Media Services will no longer accept requests to process E-6 film. This service, long considered as fundamental to our client base is the last of our conventional services to be discontinued. The switch to a fully digital production environment represents a milestone for our service that has been building momentum since the late 80's. The cost of maintaining E-6 processing has-at long last-exceeded the revenue generated by service requests.
For those of you who still require E-6 processing & other wet lab processing, please contact: Color Images Laboratory, 10 Jefferson Avenue, St. James, NY, 631-584-5097
Finishing Touch, 20 Jones Street, East Setauket, NY, 631-751-8757
Both accept purchase requisitions from SUNYSB
Medical Photography will continue to serve our clients with high quality digital imaging. Please visit our webpage for a full description of our services and contact information.
