A ten-plus-year-old piece of equipment needing to be replaced will be upgraded at Clinton's Warner Hospital and Health Services.

CEO Paul Skowron says the current CT machine at their facility is well past its 10-year life expectancy and he is excited to get a state-of-the-art machine into the hospital very soon. This has been a one-year search. 

According to Skowron, the CT unit was just over a half-million dollars. He explains after doing some research, their choice boiled down to the most efficient unit they could get.

The new machine will provide a better picture for doctors and those individuals that analyze the images. Skowron says the machine will offer better access for all patients and better safety for patients and staff.

Mid-October is the targeted install for the new machine. Skowron points out an interesting part of the installation is the German technologists come to install the unit.
