 Drs Paige Williams and Richard Oudin and HGH Administrative Assistant Rebecca Octaviano pose in front of the CT Scan booth at Hospital Day 2025 One of the booths at this year's Hospital Day highlighted the good news that, if we are successful at securing funding, we may soon have a CT scanner on Haida Gwaii. Some of our local physicians were available to answer questions and share information. Over 100 people come by, many of whom offered to donate!
Highlighting again the need for a CT scanner, on the Hospital Day weekend alone, we had 5 people presenting to the island's hospitals who needed CT imaging in order to confirm, diagnose or manage their acute medical condition. All had to consider traveling off island to access this imaging. It is clear that having this essential diagnostic equipment on Haida Gwaii would improve the quality of care accessible to islanders. We are asking those interested in making a donation to please contact the Hospital Day Society, indicating that you wish to contribute towards the CT project. Please spread the message to your friends and neighbours! Comments are closed.
