The South Bruce Grey Health Centre shared news that on Monday, the first patient was scanned on the new CT scanner at the Kincardine hospital.
They say Beryl Davies of Kincardine was the first patient scanned.
For Beryl, having a CT scanner in Kincardine means not having to rely on family members to take time off work to driver her to an appointment outside of the area, and instead having them done at her home hospital.
Dr. Lisa Roth, GBGHC Chef of Staff, says the Kincardine Physicians are thrilled to have the CT scanner operational.
She adds it will have an incredible impact on patient care for the Kincardine community and surrounding area.
