Blanchard Valley Hospital has added a new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) system with a design focused on patient comfort.
The new system, called the Siemens Open Bore Aera MRI, can accommodate larger patients, reduce claustrophobia and provide faster imaging than many traditional MRI units.
The new MRI system has a 70 cm open bore, which is the tube-like structure of the MRI machine where the patient lies during the imaging. This is much larger than traditional MRIs and can accommodate patients up to 550 pounds.
ReStore Community Center, Ada, is now a collection site for Hardin County Operation Sandy.
The Hardin County Mayors met last Thursday evening to launch an effort called Hardin County Operation Sandy to collect items and cash to assist the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Many individuals are still in need of basic supplies and we intend to send or deliver a truckload of materials to the East Coast.
ReStore is working with ISOH/IMPACT of Waterville, to ensure that the goods we send are appropriate and needed. ISOH/IMPACT specifically requested that NO blankets, sleeping bags, or bottled water be included in this drive.
