Headwaters Health Care Centre marked a historic milestone with the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Morningview Foundation MRI Suite, the first MRI facility in Dufferin-Caledon. This new suite will dramatically improve access to advanced diagnostic imaging for more than 140,000 residents across the region, reducing wait times and eliminating the need for patients to travel outside the community for scans.
“This is more than the unveiling of advanced technology. It’s a testament to what we can achieve when we listen to our community, invest in our future, and work together to improve the lives of those we serve,” said Kim Delahunt, President & CEO of Headwaters Health Care Centre. “With this new MRI, we are not just enhancing our diagnostic capabilities; we are reducing wait times, improving access, and ensuring that our patients receive the answers they need with speed and accuracy.”
The event brought together health care leaders, donors, government officials, and community partners to celebrate the culmination of years of advocacy, planning, and collaboration. The new addition was made possible through the support of the province of Ontario and the fundraising efforts of the Headwaters Health Care Foundation.
The suite, located in the Ambulatory Care wing, features a patient-friendly design informed by Patient Family Advisory Partners and offers abdominal/pelvic, brain/spine, breast, and musculoskeletal MRIs for patients ages eight and up.
“The new MRI suite at Headwaters is a game-changer for Dufferin-Caledon families. As one of 50 new MRI machines funded by our government, this will enable our community to access vital diagnostic imaging closer to home, for years to come. Thank you to everyone who helped us achieve this historic milestone,” said Sylvia Jones, MPP for Dufferin-Caledon and Ontario’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Health.
