SPECT, or Sterile Processing Education Charitable Trust, began with Christina Fast's vision of making a difference in West Africa. While volunteering on the Africa Mercy Ship, in Sierra Leone, Christina visited several local hospitals. The conditions she observed shocked her, and created within her a passion to "do something, as anything was better than nothing!" With the support of friends and family, SPECT was established and granted charitable status in the fall of 2013. Trustees of the organization include Olive Fast (chair), Jocelyn Wright (treasurer), and Torey Erdman (secretary). All donations go to supporting the mission of SPECT.
