As of Friday, organizers had raised $1.5 million, close to 25 per cent of the overall goal, including $1 million from an anonymous donation.
The money raised will cover the cost of the machine itself and as well as the construction.
The Smiths Falls hospital isn’t the only one in the region to acquire such a machine. The Brockville General Hospital will also install its own MRI, a project that is currently on track to open by March 2024. Clark, who first made the Smiths Falls MRI announcement in 2021, said his government’s improved funding formula allowed smaller hospitals to receive critical services once isolated to bigger cities.
Jordan added among the many benefits of having the critical piece of infrastructure in Smiths Falls was that it would help attract more people to live and work here.“Our practitioners want to know they’re working with the state of the art, the best equipment, the best tools they could possibly have to do their job.”
“The MRI is a major project for both the hospital and the foundation, which will have an immense impact on our ability to provide care close to home,” Fair said.
