Project:

 The Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation is embarking on an ambitious project to acquire a CT scanner, bringing advanced diagnostic services directly to our community. This initiative aligns with our vision of transforming Glengarry Memorial Hospital into a more family-oriented healthcare facility. By offering faster, local access to essential diagnostic tools, we can reduce the stress and inconvenience of traveling to distant hospitals, ensuring patients can stay close to home and loved ones during critical medical moments.


Our project also addresses the pressing issue of long wait times for CT scans in the region, easing the burden on surrounding hospitals and improving overall healthcare delivery. With this new equipment, we’ll foster a more connected, family-centered care environment, making it easier for patients to receive the support they need from family and friends throughout their medical journey.

Acquiring a CT scanner at Glengarry Memorial Hospital will ease the pressure on Cornwall’s services, allowing patients quicker access to care. It will also reduce the need for residents to travel long distances for scans, saving time, costs, and stress, especially for those with mobility challenges.

By bringing advanced diagnostics closer to home, the project fosters a more family-centered care experience, keeping loved ones nearby during critical moments. Ultimately, this initiative strengthens regional healthcare by balancing the patient load between hospitals, ensuring more efficient, accessible care for all.
