The Swan Valley Health Centre is ready to show off its newest piece of equipment to the public.
An open house is planned for next Wednesday which will include guided tours of their new CT Scanner room.
Since coming online on June 17th, hospital officials say roughly a dozen scans per day have been performed using the CT Scanner.
Besides keeping patients closer to home for these procedures, having the new CT Scanner is also reducing pressure on emergency response services, who often have to transport patients to other Manitoba communities to have these procedures performed.
The open house will take place from 10 am to noon on July 31st at the hospital.
Funding for the over two million dollar project was helped by over one million dollars being raised locally by the Town of Swan River, surrounding communities, and other local groups.
