PACIFIC RADIOLOGY
LANDS AT WIGRAM It is difficult to overstate how fundamental good health is to living life to its full potential. Right at the heart of helping Cantabrians to protect their wellbeing is Pacific Radiology Wigram. Branch manager, Kathy Matheson, and her team deliver world-class radiology to help people in Wigram as well as local communities lead healthier lives.
T
he branch is the first of the former Christchurch Radiology Group to be rebranded as part of the larger Pacific Radiology. The facility has quickly established itself as the medical imaging provider of choice
in Christchurch’s south-west. Patient numbers have doubled since the opening in early July. The dedicated and highly experienced team includes familiar faces from the former Cashmere Radiology. The practice is a purpose built, state of the art facility, which offers a range of medical imaging. Services include abdominal, musculoskeletal, gynaecological, pregnancy and vascular ultrasound, x-ray and mammography. Patients are referred by their GP, midwife, specialist or physiotherapist. Pacific Radiology works with these professional partners to ensure patients receive the best possible care. Medical imaging is an important part of the patient’s journey. Pacific Radiology offers the collective knowledge and experience of nationally and internationally recognised Radiologists and Sonographers to help patients on that journey. An ‘Anytime Service’ performs medical reporting around the clock to ensure prompt delivery of diagnosis to emergency services and referrers. This assures patients an efficient and seamless transition between care providers. Pacific Radiology Wigram is conveniently located for those residing in the southern Christchurch suburbs and Selwyn District. The branch is housed within Wigram Health which also offers a GP surgery and physiotherapist. The healthcare centre is a part of the greater business and shopping complex The Landing, which has dining, retail, haircare and childcare, offering added convenience to the experience. Kathy Matheson says, “People have been really excited about the fact their healthcare is all in one spot. They have been very impressed with the surroundings, service and they really love the new building”. Pacific Radiology’s philosophy of delivering world class radiology locally is something Kathy says Wigram epitomises with its modern and comfortable new premises and highly trained team of patient focused staff.
