Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center (NFMMC) proudly announces the start of construction on the state-of-the-art MRI Center of Niagara, a landmark initiative to bring the latest medical imaging technology, a 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging unit, to NFMMC’s downtown campus.
Representing an investment of $2.8 million, the MRI Center of Niagara underscores NFMMC’s commitment to providing convenient and rapid access to top-tier diagnostic tools for patients throughout the region. With the new center, patients can expect to benefit from higher-quality scans, ensuring faster diagnosis and early detection of cancers and other potentially life-threatening conditions at stages where they are most treatable.
“Our goal is to reduce health disparities in the Niagara region and provide timely access to appropriate treatments for all patients,” said Joseph Ruffolo, President & CEO of Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. “The MRI Center of Niagara will significantly enhance our ability to diagnose various conditions such as coronary heart disease, heart valve issues, inflammation of heart tissues, tumors, and damage from heart attacks.”
The MRI Center will be located within Memorial’s Heart Center, which will integrate outpatient diagnostic services at a single and convenient location. The MRI project is expected to be finished and fully operational, ready to serve the Niagara region by early 2024.
