At St. Mary’s Health and Clearwater Valley Health, we are committed to leading the way in rural health care. As part of this commitment, we continuously seek to improve our equipment and expand the services we offer to our communities.
We are excited to announce the purchase of two state-of-the-art echocardiogram ultrasound machines. These advanced machines enhance our cardiac imaging capabilities by providing higher quality imaging and the addition of strain imaging technology.
Benefits of Strain Imaging:
Cancer Patient Support: Strain imaging allows us to monitor the cardiac health of patients undergoing or recovering from chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This means cancer patients can receive essential imaging services locally, without the need to travel long distances.
Early Cardiac Detection: Strain imaging aids in identifying cardiac issues earlier, helping to reduce recurrent hospital visits and improving overall patient outcomes.
By acquiring two machines, we have significantly increased the availability of appointment times at both hospitals and the Kamiah Clinic. This allows patients to schedule cardiac imaging sooner, whether they are experiencing chest pain, managing ongoing cardiac conditions, or preparing for oncology appointments.
We accept all external radiology imaging orders and will verify prior authorization with your insurance provider.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact St. Mary’s Health or Clearwater Valley Health today. We are here to meet all your imaging needs with care and convenience.
