In a heartwarming display of community support, Polocorp and numerous generous donors came together to contribute towards the acquisition of a new MRI machine at CMH (Cambridge Memorial Hospital). The CMH Reveal event, held on February 29th, raised over $500,000 towards the new Spotlight MRI machine. Polocorp matched the donation made by Dr. Laura Puopolo, Chief of Anesthesia at CMH, contributing $5000 towards this vital medical equipment.
The funds are needed to replace the Hospital’s current 12-year-old MRI machine and cover costs to prepare the unique space that will house the new MRI within the newly opened Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Department. This work is anticipated to be complete by mid-2025 with delivery and installation of a new MRI anticipated by that year’s end.
Dr. Laura Puopolo, Chief of Anesthesia at CMH, highlighted the significance of MRI imaging, emphasizing its role in providing clearer and more precise diagnoses across a wide range of medical conditions. She expressed gratitude towards all donors, recognizing their indispensable role in making this essential upgrade possible.
“Easy access to MRI scans is essential for our community’s care,” she remarked. “The funding for this equipment comes entirely from our community, and we are so grateful to all of the donors who are making this possible! We appreciate Polocorp being a great community partner.”
The introduction of a new MRI machine at CMH promises several significant benefits for the community:
Enhanced Imaging Features: Enhanced imaging capabilities will enable more accurate diagnoses, allowing patients to receive the right treatments sooner.
Attraction of Medical Talent: State-of-the-art medical equipment is instrumental in attracting skilled healthcare professionals to the community, further enhancing the quality of care available at CMH.
Strengthened Diagnostic Imaging Department: The acquisition of a new MRI machine will fortify CMH’s Diagnostic Imaging Department, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of medical innovation and capable of meeting the evolving needs of patients.
As CMH prepares to create a new era of advanced diagnostic capabilities, the collective efforts of Polocorp, individual donors, and the community at large serve as a testament to the power of unity in supporting healthcare initiatives. By investing in cutting-edge technology like the new MRI machine, CMH reaffirms its commitment to providing exceptional care and improving health outcomes for all residents.
