Huntsville Hospital Foundation’s ground-breaking Focus On Imaging Capital Campaign started in Spring 2021. Two and a half years later, we are more than 80% of the way to our $10 million target. That is a remarkable achievement by our donor community and we applaud everyone who has contributed. Your Focus On Imaging gifts will improve diagnosis accuracy and speed treatment and recovery. Your generosity will save lives in Muskoka.
During the final $1.5 million push to our goal, our team will be raising the funds required to add another x-ray unit, complete our mammography update and improve our CT Scan capabilities. Our final push and your generosity will also help us pay for Muskoka’s first MRI right here in Huntsville.
THE SPROTT FOUNDATION DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING DEPARTMENT ADVANCES
Construction is well underway at The Sprott Foundation Diagnostic Imaging Department in large part thanks to the $2 million gift and generosity of the family. We can’t thank them enough. What The Sprott Foundation gift and other gifts have made possible among other improvements is the replacement of the 20-year old Nuclear Medicine technology at the hospital. The new state-of-the-art machine is equipped with a SPECT-CT camera which combines images from different types of scans. This in turn provides more precise information about how a patient’s body is working and can more clearly identify where problems are occurring.
Up to 2,000 nuclear medicine procedures are completed every year in Huntsville, allowing patients to receive diagnostic services closer to home without the need for out-of-region travel. High-quality onsite services leads to better patient outcomes. The Focus on Imaging Campaign is anticipated to wrap up in early 2024.
