Hennelly said the new Diagnostic Center is an important step in the hospital’s ability to draw patients from beyond Sonoma Valley. “It allows us to provide advanced diagnostics, while supporting our efforts to provide our community with the finest emergency care.” “We are grateful to the Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation and its capital campaign team, along with the many generous donors who have made this new service a reality for our community,” said Hennelly. A capital campaign committee was formed under the auspices of the Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation which mounted a successful fundraising effort to raise the $21 million needed to design and build the center, including purchase of new equipment.

The new diagnostic center was made possible through support by the Sonoma Valley community and major donors. The second and final phase, which includes a new 3 Tesla MRI, along with updated ultrasound and X-ray equipment, and updated space and equipment for cardiology and laboratory services, is on schedule for completion by early 2024.Ĭonstruction was delayed as a result of Covid-19 restrictions, as well as the need to address unexpected complications in construction, said John Hennelly, SVH President and CEO. Faster scanning speeds allow patients to spend less time being scanned. The new CT unit represents the latest in scanning technology, offering highest quality diagnostic scans while enhancing patient convenience and comfort. The CT suite will receive its first patient Monday, August 22. This phase includes a state-of-the-art 128-slice CT scanner, a larger and more comfortable patient waiting area, and upgrades in adjacent public areas.
