After discussion the Board approved the plan as presented.

  • Mark Amberg also presented a proposal for a High-Resolution Spiral CT scanner to replace CCMC's current CT scanner. The Spiral CT will fit in the same room as our existing scanner but will require upgraded electric service and additional cooling. The Spiral CT scanner will allow CCMC to increase the quality of our CT images and keep some additional scanning work here in Clay Center. It will also allow CCMC to provide better service for Emergency room trauma patients. CCMC's existing CT scanner and the replacement scanner are both made by Phillips-Picker. The existing scanner will be traded in on the deal. After review the board approved the purchase at a project cost not to exceed $120,000.

  • The new dictation equipment is being installed this week and training is being completed on the new system.
