February 10, 2023, Paulding, Ohio – Paulding County Hospital was pleased to unveil to the public and the community our completed CT project, including renovations to our outpatient specialty clinics. This project has been in the making for over four years and we are overjoyed to see it come to fruition.
The current CT machine at Paulding County Hospital is over 17 years old, and has served the needs of the community throughout this time. The project in total came in at 2.3 million dollars. Included in the was purchasing a new state-of-the-art CT, renovating and relocating the CT to the Imaging suite, renovating our Imaging waiting room and office, renovating our Outpatient Specialty Clinic rooms and office. Also, adding a new air handler to assist in keeping the CT room climate controlled.
The relocation of the CT equipment to right outside the Emergency Department provides needed convenience to our patients, when every second counts. Due to our new technology, we will be able to provide some new services to our community, close to home. One of these new services is CT Heart Smart scans. The scan evaluates the amount of plaque in your heart vessels and is non-invasive. The scan will be a $50 cash-pay screening exam that can truly be life-saving. A provider order is required for the scan.
The Paulding County Hospital Foundation through their Raise More Funds initiative was able to donate $55,000 towards the CT project. A special thanks goes out to the Paulding County Hospital Foundation and the following for their generous donations toward this project: Dr. Larry Fishbaugh, LaDonna Shisler, Carol Todd (In memory of Merle and Eileen Jeffery), Betty Clark, Paulding County Hospital Aux Gift Shop, C&Y Oil Company, First Financial Bank, R&K Brady Corporation, Red Angel Pizza, Van Wert Area Foundation, VFW Post 5087 in Antwerp, Jay Dangler Excavating and the anonymous donors from our community.
