Warner Hospital and Health Services will be proposing a new piece of equipment at the August hospital board meeting.
Warner Hospital and Health Services CEO Paul Skowron notes the importance of a new CT scanner and their current open is ten years old. The scanner is used by multiple departments of the hospital.
Skowron indicates the radiology department has been doing site visits looking at models they will be proposing. He says they have been "blown away" by the differences between these machines and the hospital's current one.
Skowron says CT scanners can be used for multiple purposes from determining cardiac problems to anything that would not display on an x-ray. He emphasizes preventative care and the new CT scanner will be used for that.
Skowron advocates the new CT scanner will help the hospital with its mission of providing "quality care close to home."
