In a recent social media post, Quinte health updated the community on the impact the Bancroft hospital’s new CT scanner has had since its arrival.
According to Quinte health, The North Hastings Hospital team performed its first CT exam on Jan. 29.
They say that over the last six months the CT scanner has been “essential to providing high-quality patient care and keeping care close to home”.
As of mid-August, 1,638 patients had received CT scans at North Hastings Hospital, including 510 emergency CT scans, 1,085 outpatient CT scans, and 43 inpatient CT scans.
The post went on to thank “the dedicated Quinte Health team, the North Hastings Fund Development Committee, and its generous donors including the The North Hastings District Hospital Auxiliary for their invaluable support.”
