C-Arm Arrives At Meaford Hospital

Meaford General Hospital Foundation Funds Purchase Of New C-Arm

Article Written By Dr. John McCall

C-Arm

The Meaford General Hospital Foundation (MGHF) has just purchased a new Image Intensifier (Mobile X-Ray Machine) which allows us to accurately fix fractures and carry out endoscopic joint repairs.  This is the second of these machines we have had in Meaford and is a big advance on the older model with a terrific picture (good for my aging eyes) as well as sophisticated image handling.

The Meaford Hospital is very well equiped for a hospital of its size (indeed for a hospital of any size).

In 1974 when I came to work at the Meaford Hospital there was very little orthopedic equipment.  We are very lucky to have a Hospital Foundation able and willing to fund the necessary capital equipment items now available in the Meaford Hospital Operating Room.
