- UltrasoundThis project enabled us to comply with new mandates for air quality, as well as federal requirements for patient privacy and accessibility to the disabled that have come into existence or changed since the original building was built in 1952. On June 17, 2008, the ground was broken, and we began the three phase construction project in July 2008. The first phase was a second story patient care area consisting of a 4-room private ICU, a 4-room post-partum suite, and 17 private patient rooms. The second floor also includes a 4-bed nursery, an in-patient waiting area, and an ICU waiting area. This phase was completed in May 2009. The second phase of the project consisted of renovations and additions to the Diagnostic Imaging Department, which now offers state-of-the-art radiology services, including ultrasound with 4D capability, Digital Mammography, 64 Slice Toshiba Aquillion CT, 1.5 Tesla MRI, and Nuclear Medicine; making this department totally digital, and the Laboratory Department, which is also equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation. We had a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 19, 2010, celebrating the completion of the first two phases. The third phase of the construction project included two new state-of-the-art surgical suites, an Ambulatory Surgery entrance and waiting room, two digital ENDO suites, and a 4-bed Post Anesthesia Care Unit. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the completion of the third and final phase was held on March 12, 2010. These services will potentially help us to generate more revenue to pay for this project and to continue sustaining ourselves in the distant future.
- MRIWith our CT Scanner we can offer all CT, CTA, Cardiac (with 3D Reconstructions) and Calcium Score exams. We have a Toshiba Titan 1.5 Tesla MRI that offers all MRI/MRA exams including 3D reconstruction. We can perform all MRA studies without IV contrast because of the advanced software that we have which allows visualization of the vessels without the need for contrast. We also have the Metal Reduction Software that allows us to acquire diagnostic images with someone that has hardware. The MRI scanner has a wide bore which has an opening of 71cm, it also allows us to be able to scan feet first if needed and music to help with patient comfort.
- RadiologyPhase two began the renovations to accommodate and to update Diagnostic Imaging and to include renovations to the Laboratory Department and the 14-bed observation unit. In February of 2008, Diagnostic Imaging went to Digital Mammography. The hospital opened up a MRI unit with 64-slice Toshiba technology in July of 2009 and a Nuclear Medicine unit in October of 2009. Upon receiving a grant for $985,000.00, we upgraded our CT to 160-slice Toshiba technology in February of 2011, making our radiology department rated among the most advanced in the state. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the completions of Phases one & two were held on May 19, 2009.
