Davenport-Hatch Foundation awards grant to S&S for CT scanner
Finger Lakes Health Foundation
PENN YAN – The Davenport-Hatch Foundation has awarded a grant of $50,000 to the Finger Lakes Health Foundation in support of the purchase and installation of a new Philips Incisive 128- Slice CT scanner system at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital.
Computed tomography (CT scan) ranks as one of the top five medical developments in the last 50 years. CT scans can help improve the accuracy and success of health care, reduce the need for exploratory surgeries, and reduce the risk of complications in surgery. The current CT system at the hospital – the only one in Yates County – is 16+ years old and repairs are a challenge, as replacement parts are difficult to obtain.
