Andrew, Erika, and Travis (from Child's Play) were on hand for the unveiling of a new MRI Simulator at Victoria General Hospital (Victoria Hospitals Foundation) last month! Thank you so much for your support of Child's Play Charity which enables advancements in hospital tech both worldwide and in our own town. Designed and built by Camosun College students, this machine will alleviate the anxiety associated with having to get scanned by allowing children to experience the procedure in a lower stress environment.
