Chase’s new radiology room and X-ray machine getting good use: Interior Health
CHASE, B.C. — The new radiology room in the Chase and District Health Centre has been well used by residents, according to Interior Health.
After opening to patients on Jan. 31, 2022, Interior Health says the new machine has produced more than 350 patient exams, with some patients needing more than one X-ray per visit.
“This new machine is making a big difference in the care we are providing in Chase,” Susan Brown, Interior Health president and CEO says. “People in Chase and the surrounding areas no longer have to travel to receive an X-ray. The new equipment is providing a more reliable service and has enhanced working conditions for our health-care team.”
The Chase and District Health Centre received a renovated radiology room, a new Siemens X-ray machine, and an electrical upgrade following $620,000 in funding. The centre serves nearly 3,000 people in the community of Chase and the surrounding region.
