“Mental health is a high priority within our healthcare system. At AMGH we have a psychiatric unit that is now over 40 years old and requires significant renovations to meet current standards of care. A properly designed and staffed unit enhances the patient experience and is instrumental in achieving positive outcomes.”

Dr. Patrick Conlon
AMGH Chief of Psychiatry

AMGH currently has the only CT scanner in Huron County. The average lifespan of a CT scanner is 10 years; our current CT scanner is 8 years old and remains operational, however as technology advances, it becomes more difficult and costly to maintain.

Having a CT scanner close to home provides significant benefits to patients and physicians:

• For patients, it means less travel time, shorter wait times and faster results.
• For physicians, it is an essential diagnostic tool that provides timely results and is essential to patient care treatment planning. The CT scanner also enables AMGH to be the only provider of Telestroke services in Huron County.
• For the hospital, a CT scanner is helpful in the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel.

The new CT scanner will reduce the amount of radiation that patients are exposed to and provides significantly-improved image quality for the technicians and physicians to use in the assessment and care of patients.
