The Hi-Desert Medical Center Board voted to purchase a high-tech piece of equipment last night. Reporter Mike Lipsitz was there and files this report…
Last night’s meeting of the Hi-Desert Medical Center Board of Directors kicked off with a presentation on the hospital’s medical imaging department. And in a related matter, the board authorized purchase of a half-million dollar Hologic Tomography Digital Mammography Unit that promises early and more accurate detection of breast cancers. The unit is expected to be installed and operating by this fall. The features of this unit equal or exceed the capabilities of similar mammography units found anywhere in the area. Also last night, directors approved the process for filling the vacancy left by Paul Hoffman’s resignation. And in the hospital’s continuing Covered California enrollment drive, the District continues to sign up residents in advance of the March 31 enrollment deadline.
