With the closest MRI machines in Owen Sound, London, Stratford, Huron County residents often travel significant distances for a life-changing scan. And under stressful, potentially life-changing circumstances.

In September 2025, priority four patients waited on average 360 days at London Health Sciences Centre-University Hospital, 66 days at Stratford General Hospital and 52 days at Brightshores Health System in Owen Sound for an MRI.

We want to change that

With approval from the Government of Ontario, Alexandra Marine & General Hospital is aiming to have its MRI machine operational by 2027. But we need the magnetic pull of our community to make this happen.

Led by Dr. Tiffaney Kittmer and a team of dedicated community leaders and champions, we've launched an ambitious two-year Magnetic Moments capital campaign to raise $6,500,000 and strengthen healthcare in Huron County

Adding an MRI broadens the range of services available to AMGH’s patients, allows patients to speak with in‐house specialists close to home, helps attract healthcare professionals to the hospital, and ensures AMGH continues to be a leading healthcare provider within the region.

We also know that new residents are flocking to our area, many of whom are retiring in the region, and therefore have specific healthcare needs, often including MRI requests. In fact, Huron County is unique in that while the population is growing, a higher percentage of the population is older when compared to the rest of the province.

Being rural does not mean we do not have access to experts

AMGH is in the fortunate position to already be engaged with a group of MRI-trained radiologists. with London X‐Ray Associates partnering with AMGH since 2007. AMGH is part of the Southwestern Ontario Diagnostic Imaging Network's regional Picture Archiving and Communication System with most of the digital images read remotely.

Join the Magnetic Moments movement that’s pulling our community together

Perhaps you too are experiencing the frustration of waiting, often in pain for a test that may also require travelling long distances. Or know someone who needed life-changing clarity at a critical moment. Maybe you want to ensure our neighbours have access to healthcare right here at home.

Whatever pulls you in to give, let's create the movement that’s pulling our community together.
