The Need for Advanced Healthcare Technology
Thousands of Patients Need Your Help – Let’s Make a Difference Together.
Every year, thousands of residents on Vancouver Island experience debilitating pain and anxiety, uncertain about what’s happening to their bodies. Wait times for diagnostic scans can be as long as six months, delaying vital treatment. With your help, we can reduce these wait times and provide faster, more accurate diagnoses.
A second SPECT/CT machine at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH) will:
Increase capacity by 40%, allowing up to 8,000 scans annually.
Provide precise diagnosis, especially for cancer and cardiac issues, by combining functional and structural imaging.
Improve patient outcomes, enabling faster treatment decisions and lessening unnecessary suffering.
Will you help us buy another SPECT/CT machine to reduce wait times on Central Vancouver Island?
A Story of Hope & Healing – Liam’s Journey
“Thanks to a SPECT/CT scan, My Husband is Back to Living Life Fully.”
Olivia and her husband Liam moved to Nanaimo for a peaceful retirement, but their dreams were interrupted by serious health issues. Liam suffered from fatigue, kidney stones, and dangerous calcium build-up on his heart. Doctors were uncertain about the cause until they used the SPECT/CT machine at NRGH. This breakthrough technology revealed a parathyroid condition that was treatable.
Today, Liam is back to gardening, walking, and enjoying his life again. Olivia says, “It’s a miracle. The SPECT/CT machine saved us from months of uncertainty and worry. Now, I want to make sure this life-saving technology is available for more families.”
