X-ray replacement starts this month

Includes X-ray, fluoroscopy systems at SH and WVH

The X-Ray Replacement Project will improve X-ray and fluoroscopy systems at Salem and West Valley Hospitals as they reach their end-of-life. The project starts this month with Salem Hospital X-ray Room 7 and the West Valley Hospital Fluoroscopy Room,

Salem Hospital X-ray Room 7 decommission started on April 4, and runs through mid-July.

• No interruption in services is expected.
• Construction containment extends into the patient hallway, but we don’t expect any changes in hallway traffic.

West Valley Fluoroscopy Room decommission starts on April 11, and runs through late July.

• Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) testing for swing-bed patients will continue.
• There will be no other in-patient fluoroscopy services during this time.
• All outpatient fluoroscopy services will shift to Salem Hospital.
