THANK YOU, DONORS 🧡🎉 We have exciting news from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Emergency Department!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, the new CT scanner for the Emergency Department is now on site, bringing us one step closer to faster, safer diagnosis and treatment for patients when it becomes operational. Together, you helped raise an extraordinary $1.3 million to make this transformative project possible.
CT imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing serious illnesses and other time-sensitive medical emergencies. Until now, critically ill patients requiring CT imaging have had to leave the Emergency Department and be transported to Diagnostic Imaging.
Once operational, the new scanner will allow patients to remain in the trauma area where specialized teams, equipment, and life-saving resources are immediately available. This will be especially important for patients experiencing strokes, heart attacks, and other emergencies where every minute counts.
The arrival of the scanner marks a major step forward, and we look forward to the day it begins serving patients and helping healthcare teams provide even more efficient care. Thank you for investing in better emergency care for Islanders. 🧡
"We are beyond thrilled to have this new scanner just next door to our trauma room. The difference will be life-saving, and I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all QEH Foundation donors from all of the staff here at the QEH Emergency Department. It's a game-changer."
- Dr. Nicole Green, QEH Emergency Physician
