Northwestern Medical Center’s new fixed-site, large-bore MRI arrived at the hospital on Friday morning.  The arrival of the equipment signals the final phase of the project, which has been underway since November.  The new MRI will provide for upgraded software, a larger “bore” (the opening in the center of the scanner that a patient is placed in for imaging), and an improved patient experience. 

“It is exciting to see the MRI arrive,” said Mark Sutton, Diagnostic Imaging Manager.  “We are so thrilled to be able to make this dramatic improvement for our patients.” 

Northwestern Medical Center (NMC) employees are slimming down as their annual “Dump Your Plump” fitness challenge enters its last few weeks. 

Northwestern Medical Center's “Dump Your Plump” competition is underway with a record of 272 NMC employees and 13 spouses joining this fun, friendly competition for better health.  NMC'ers are working hard to change or maintain their exercise and nutrition habits to shed unwanted pounds or to maintain a healthy weight.
