Rural Kauai hospital to install MRI
Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital recently received state approval to provide magnetic resonance imaging services.
The State Health Planning and Development Agency approved the Waimea hospital's application for a certificate of need to provide MRI services for the west side of Kauai. Equipment and installation is expected to cost nearly $400,000.
Kauai has just one MRI scanner, at Wilcox Memorial Hospital in Lihue, and officials at Kauai Veterans said the service was sorely needed on the west side, where they expect to conduct more than 2,000 MRI scans a year http://payday-badcredit.com.
Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital is part of the Hawaii Health Systems Corp., the state's 13-member public hospital network.
