MRI for Estevan Campaign
Project Objectives:
The objective of this St. Joseph’s Hospital Estevan MRI Project is to increase access to MRI services for patients in the South East and across the entire Province of Saskatchewan. This project aligns closely with the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s Strategic Priority to provide seamless care as close to home as possible, and to improve health outcomes and to deliver improved patient flow in Saskatchewan. This Estevan MRI project will reduce patient and family transportation and transport for services. With the growing demand for MRI services over the past several years, this project will result in improved patient wait times for MRI services for all areas of the province by freeing up MRI appointment in other areas of the province.
Scope:
This St. Joseph’s Hospital Estevan MRI project scope includes a 1.5T MRI system to be installed
into a Modular MRI cassette building which will be attached to the St. Joseph’s Hospital in
Estevan. This project includes an additional modular building and renovation to the existing St.Joseph’s Hospital which will allow for safety zones to ensure compliance with the requirements of Diagnostic Accreditation Programs safety guidelines.
Why It‘s Needed:
Currently, there is a significant gap in MRI facilities within the Saskatchewan South East Health Networks, resulting in approximately 1,650 patients per year needing to travel a minimum of 200 kilometers for MRI services. This highlights the pressing need for an MRI facility in the region to improve accessibility and reduce travel burdens for patients.
We Need Your Help
Financial support from community partners and stakeholders is crucial for the successful establishment of the MRI facility at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan. Community partners and stakeholders play a vital role in ensuring that essential healthcare services, such as MRI imaging, are accessible to residents in the South East Health Networks. Their financial contributions not only demonstrate a commitment to improving healthcare outcomes for the community but also help bridge funding gaps, cover capital equipment costs, and support ongoing operational expenses. By rallying support from community partners and stakeholders, we can work together to address the pressing need for MRI services in the region and enhance healthcare access for all residents.
