MRI Campaign
Because the Details Matter
The MRI at the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths District Hospital is now operational. However, it has not been fully funded as the Ontario Government does NOT pay for equipment.
The Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation is in its second year of a three-year $6.1 million dollar campaign to fund this vital piece of diagnostic equipment. To date our generous community has shown their support with an amazing $3.1 million raised so far!
What is an MRI?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a specialized imaging test that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed 3D images of organs and structures inside your body. Healthcare providers use MRI to evaluate, diagnose and monitor several different medical conditions not visualized well with other imaging tests.

Keeping Care Close to Home
Increased Access to Vital Diagnostic Services
Having the MRI at Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital has increased access to vital diagnostic services to support care close to home for thousands of patients.
Patients who previously would have been required to make the long drive to Ottawa or Kingston are now able to access this potentially life saving imaging right here in their community saving patients and families travel time and associated travel costs.
