10 The IFP · Halton Hills, Thursday, April 26, 2012 NEWS AND INFORMATION FROM GEORGETOWN HOSPITAL APRIL 2012 About the GH Redevelopment Project Construction of the Emergency Department addition will be followed by renovations within the building required to expand the Hospital's Diagnostic Imaging Department. The addition will increase the size of the Emergency Department and provide space for the installation of the Hospital's first Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. Currently, any Georgetown Hospital patient who requires a CT scan must be transported to one of Halton Healthcare's hospitals in Milton or Oakville and are then transported back to Georgetown Hospital to await a diagnosis. The addition of a CT scanner at Georgetown Hospital will eliminate the need to transfer patients to another hospital, resulting in faster diagnoses and treatment. Halton Healthcare Services looks forward to celebrating many milestones with our community as this exciting project progresses. Stay tuned!
