Fund-a-Cause

MRI is on the front line of diagnosis. It’s not a luxury, but a life-saving tool. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging method that uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed internal body images. It clearly shows organs, bones, muscles, and blood vessels, helping doctors diagnose conditions and plan effective treatments. MRIs are used to diagnose and monitor conditions essential for cancer, stroke, cardiac, surgical, orthopedic and gastrointestinal patients among many others.

Phelps Hospital operates two MRIs that run seven days a week, serving our inpatients and outpatients. We are operating at capacity and demand grows each year. We seek a third MRI to meet our growing demand for imaging services and to prevent delays in critical diagnoses. A third MRI will:

• Increase access for critical, timely diagnostic services

• Allow our physicians to deliver more expert care locally

• Complement our expanded digestive health capabilities

• Support our advanced nuclear medicine programs including our groundbreaking theranostics program, a new approach that combines diagnostic imaging with targeted radiation therapy to detect and treat certain types of cancer.

 Your generosity will help support life-saving diagnostics at Phelps Hospital benefitting our entire community.

The Fund-a-Cause will be generously matched 1:1 for every dollar raised up to $150,000. That means every dollar contributed turns into $2.
