The next phase of investment focuses on replacing and expanding core imaging technologies many patients depend on every day. Much of the current equipment was installed when the Health Centre opened in 2011 and is approaching the end of its serviceable life.<\/p>\n
Priority projects include:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Replacement of three x-ray units and two fluoroscopy systems;<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Acquisition of a mobile C-Arm to support care in surgery, Orthopaedic Clinic, and Emergency Department; and<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Addition of a new ultrasound unit to expand access to care.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvesting in imaging upgrades isn\u2019t just about technology,\u201d says Dr. Jeff Hodge, Head of Service of Radiology, NBRHC. \u201cIt directly translates into improved diagnostic accuracy, procedural safety, and patient comfort \u2013 elements that our department strives to deliver daily.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the matching program in effect until December 31st, every donation will have three times the impact in supporting patient care. A gift of $100 becomes $300 toward funding advanced imaging equipment and technology to serve our community.<\/p>\n
