Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, California, has started an $18.37 million upgrade to its radiology department that is expected to take two to three years to complete.
The facility will pay for this project using hospital reservice and a $100,000 contribution from the Harden Foundation, according to a new report from the Monterey Herald. A new ultrasound suite, a new interventional radiology suite, a new MRI scanner and two new CT scanners are all part of the planned upgrades.
These changes are designed to improve patient care by reducing patient movement throughout the hospital and improving the diagnosis process, according to the report. The medical center performed almost 74,000 radiologic procedures in 2018.
