We're Getting a New CT Scanner
April 27, 2025
Several years ago, Dale and Lois Keyes made a very generous
donation to the WDMH Foundation so the hospital could upgrade its CT Scanner.
The new CT scanner will soon be installed, and that project will take several
weeks to complete.
During that time, there will be some changes to the CT service
because we will operate a mobile CT scanner while the new, permanent machine is
being installed.
On Friday, May 2, the mobile unit will be delivered to WDMH, where
it will be set up in the rear parking lot. A portion of the parking lot will be
blocked off to accommodate this.
From May 16 to June 16, we will use the mobile CT unit while the
new one is being installed, and it will continue to operate on the same
schedule as our current service. However, the mobile unit cannot perform all
the same scans as the permanent unit. During this period, it may be necessary
to send some patients to other hospitals for their scans.
“The process of acquiring a replacement CT scanner has been
lengthy,” says Janie Desroches, Vice President of Clinical Services, “however,
we are very excited to be able to upgrade this crucial piece of equipment so we
can continue to provide excellent patient care to our community.”
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this time
of transition.
