Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
On June 18, 2024, Georgian Bay General Hospital began construction on its highly anticipated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) addition.
This marks a significant milestone in enhancing healthcare services for the communities we serve.
Having an MRI at GBGH will enhance the overall patient experience and reduce wait times, improving health outcomes for individuals across the region GBGH serves.
The MRI will reside in an addition being built off the hospital’s existing Diagnostic Imaging department.
Bringing an MRI to GBGH marks a crucial step forward in our strategy to grow our services at GBGH in alignment with the current and future needs of our community.
With a total investment of $8 million, adding an MRI underscores GBGH’s commitment to providing more diagnostic imaging services closer to home.
This state-of-the-art facility will not only improve patient care by providing an important diagnostic procedure but also enable us to meet the growing demand for diagnostic imaging services across the region due to population growth and our aging population.
The GBGH Foundation has been fundraising for the MRI over the past 18 months with the goal of raising $4 million toward the project for both the construction and purchasing of the MRI. For more information, please visit the Foundation’s website (gbghf.ca).
When the MRI arrives at the hospital in early 2025, it will be because of a collaborative effort between GBGH and its surrounding communities.
