Adventist Health Ukiah Valley's
2nd Annual Golf Tournament
Saving Lives Close To Home
What if we could assess the extent of a patient’s cancer more accurately? What if patients with stroke-like symptoms had access to life-saving (magnetic resonance imaging) MRI tests within 24 hours, right here, close to home. With the addition of new advanced MRI technology, we can do all of this and more.
Your sponsorship and entry into the 2nd Annual Adventist Health Ukiah Valley
Golf Tournament will keep patients in our community rather than being
transferred to other facilities to receive care. Staying close to home
prevents delays to diagnosis and allows family members to visit more frequently,
aiding the healing process.
Adventist Health Ukiah Valley's existing MRI provides more than 3,500 studies
per year and is fully booked most of the time. The next available appointments
are two weeks out. If an emergency patient needs a study, scheduled patients
are rescheduled to accommodate the emergency. More than 300 patients were
rescheduled in 2018.
In addition to handling the increased workload, a second MRI would provide
the advanced technology needed by our physicians to detect the extent
of their patients’ diseases for a quicker diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
That’s why Adventist Health Ukiah Valley is committed to providing
the most advanced MRI technology to the patients living in Mendocino County.
Your support ensures that patients will receive this care close to home.
