In a medical emergency, every minute matters. In one recent stroke case, the facility was able to scan and diagnose the patient within minutes using their in-house CT system. This was a major improvement compared to previous delays when patients had to be sent to another facility for imaging.
Previously, the facility was sending about 20 CT scans a week to another provider. That not only delayed care but also meant significant revenue loss — money that could have been used to keep equipment and services up to date.
Bringing CT capabilities in-house changed everything. Now, patients can be scanned immediately, care decisions are made faster, and the hospital retains the revenue to reinvest in its own operations.
When weighing options, a brand-new CT system was outside the facility’s budget. A reconditioned system from Brown’s Medical Imaging provided the same functionality at over $100,000 less — without compromising quality.
“It looked brand new to us. I figured there’d be scratches and wear and tear from another facility using it — and there wasn’t.”
With Brown’s, reliable service is part of the package. If an issue arises, their team responds immediately to get the system back up and running — avoiding long downtimes.
“You’re not down 24 hours waiting on a service tech to get here. They’re out as soon as you call.”
