Financial support pours in for GRMC’s new Women’s Imaging Center (Seguin) - The future GRMC Women’s Imaging Center has just gotten a double dose of financial support. Not only has a local business stepped in but a department within Guadalupe Regional Medical Center has also contributed $10,000 toward the fundraising campaign for the future state-of-the-art imaging center for women.
“We took over radiology here about eight or nine years ago and the hospital has been very supportive of our group and of imaging in the community and we just felt that we wanted to give back to the hospital and to the community for the opportunity to be able to work here and to be able to provide the community with some state-of-the-art imaging equipment and a state-of-the-art women’s imaging center,” said Dr. Smith.
The new space is being described as a “private, beautifully appointed center adjacent to the Imaging Department” and will feature individual exam rooms.
Dr. Smith says the imaging center will provide all the basic care while utilizing all the state-ofthe-art technology in a more comfortable hospital environment for women.
Hospital officials say once completed, the imaging center will provide patients with all the latest technology in combating women’s health issues including breast care and early cancer detection.
“The new equipment allows us to do minimal invasive biopsies here at the hospital without having to have an outside vendor come say once a week or once a month. We can do it any day, you know more for patient convenience and then we are building a whole women’s imaging center where it’s a little more comfortable and a little more private as opposed to being just in a normal mammogram room getting the biopsy so it’s very beneficial for the community, for the patients,” Luby Bailey, GRMC lead mammographer, shares the new space that is being created for the hospital’s future Women’s Imaging Center. said Dr. Smith.
