OTTAWA — The Mercy Health – Putnam Ambulatory Care Center has installed new scanning technology, a $1.7 million investment intended to allow for shorter, quieter scans and sharper images than traditional MRIs.
“Getting an MRI can often be unsettling for patients as they are traditionally loud and confining,” Cindy Wolfcale, imaging director for Mercy Health-St. Rita’s Medical Center, said in a press release. “To help alleviate patient anxiety and to ensure that patients receive the most advanced imaging services available, Mercy Health is pleased to invest in a new scanner at our Putnam Ambulatory Care Center.
“This new technology, combined with the comprehensive array of services offered at the care center, means Putnam County residents can stay closer to home for the care they need.”
