Project X-ray will see the acquisition and replacement of several key radiology pieces of equipment and facilities. All equipment purchased through this campaign will be used in the current hospital and be relocated to the new facilities once built. This equipment will position WLMH as a leader in the medical field.
Mammography Unit takes a specific type of image that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the diagnosis of breast diseases.
PACS is a Picture Archiving and Communication System. PACS is a ‘film less’ system which allows images to be viewed and stored electronically. The system will help to create a comprehensive electronic patient record of diagnostic images such as x-rays and enable medical staff to provide more expedient, immediate and well-informed care.
Ultrasound Unit undertakes a procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off internal tissues/organs and make echoes. The echo patterns are shown on the screen of an ultrasound screen, forming a picture of body tissues called a sonogram.
Portable X-ray Unit will allow medical staff the flexibility of bringing the equipment to the patient, instead of the patient to the equipment.
X-ray Room 1 & Room 2 will be upgraded with advanced, state-of-the-art radiology equipment ensuring enhanced diagnostic testing and improved maneuverability for medical staff and patients.
Investing in Life Endowment Fund
Endowments are gifts invested to provide a never-ending source of income to the hospital through its foundation.
