The long-time dream of having a CT scanner for patients in the Bulkley Valley region is now a reality.
Northern Health has approved the upcoming capital plan, which includes CT services for Bulkley Valley District Hospital.
Bulkley Valley-Stikine Health Services Administrator Cormac Hickish says he’s thrilled, calling it the biggest healthcare news of region in the last decade.
Hickish says a surprise donation of $1.6 million by Fritz Pfeiffer was instrumental in pushing the project forward along with the fundraising efforts of the Bulkley Valley Healthcare and Hospital Foundation.
