ALLISTON, ONTARIO - Stevenson Memorial Hospital (SMH) is moving ahead with plans to install a CT Scanner this summer.
At their regular board meeting on February 5, the Board gave final approval for CEO, Gary Ryan, to move ahead with the project. The Diagnostic Imaging Department will have to be enlarged to accommodate the scanner. Contractors will quickly begin to prepare the ground for an addition to the existing hospital building.
"The CT Scanner is essential for patient care and having the unit on-site will reduce wait times and provide for efficient service," said Ted Vandevis, Chair of the SMH Board.
"Fundraising to pay for the equipment, and the building to house it, is being well supported," commented Jean Baker-Pearce, President of the SMH Foundation. "We have a lot of work to do and a long way to go, but we're confident that the funds will be raised."
In the next few months, SMH Foundation volunteers will be reaching out to the general public on many levels to ensure the success of this project.
Details of a formal ground-breaking ceremony will be released shortly.
