In a landmark moment for cutting-edge healthcare in our communities, Grand River Hospital is proud to announce the opening of a new nuclear medicine suite along with newly renovated facilities across our medical imaging program. This project has been years in the making. At the heart of this extensive renovation project is the state-of-the-art nuclear medicine suite and a brand new, second MRI machine, to improve access to diagnostic care for our communities. This work is a testament to the hospital's commitment to providing the latest advancements in diagnostic imaging to our patients.

As a nurse, Leaha Beattie-Palmer is aware of the signs and symptoms of a stroke. She also knows how important it is to take immediate action to help a patient experiencing a stroke, in order to improve recovery outcomes. And still, her experience caught her by surprise. 

Grand River Hospital is working together with Grand River Hospital Foundation and our community supporters to lead the way in bringing health innovations to our community. In this type of collaboration, everyone has a role to play to help enhance the hospital experience for local patients, staff, and health care students. Providing the highest level of care to patients and investing in the best resources and tools for staff and students are also important in bringing our vision — a world class health system supporting healthier lives — to life. 

Dedicated community members and Grand River Hospital team members worked together to replace one of the two computerized tomography (CT) scanners at Grand River Hospital’s KW Campus this summer. Funded by the generous supporters who donate to Grand River Hospital Foundation, this new CT scanner is an investment in local health care that is making a tremendous impact for patients across Waterloo Region who come through the Hospital’s doors in times of need.
