Meeting the needs of a growing and aging
population
The newly expanded and renovated Diagnostic Imaging Department
includes the addition of an Open MRI system; a 320-slice CT
scanner; a new, completely digital X-ray department; and two new
flouroscopy machines. These upgrades to the department translate to
lower doses of radiation and faster processing of images with no
sacrifice to image quality. A special waiting area for inpatients
allows for private, comforable, preparation of exams and is staffed
by a registered nurse. Our new reception area offers a large,
private seating area with easy access from our new Ambulatory Care
Center and new main entrance.
