Imaging Revitalization Project

Diagnostic devices are critical to providing urgent, emergent and critically ill patients the best possible care on Kauai. The Wilcox Health Foundation's fundraising campaign will go toward imaging equipment for a diagnostic center of excellence at Wilcox Medical Center by:

Upgrading the only full magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) available on Kauai. More than 4,000 MRI scans are performed at Wilcox every year.
Renovating and upgrading X-ray/fluoroscopy room equipment. Wilcox performs more than 44,000 X-rays annually.
Converting an existing X-ray room to also serve as a Class II interventional radiology suite, giving Kauai patients increased access to care.
