NORWICH - UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging team recently celebrated the installation of a state-of-the-art CT scanning machine, marking a significant advancement in diagnostic capabilities for patients in the region. This upgrade expands the range of services available locally.

On Dec. 11, UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital marked a major milestone with an open house event celebrating the new Women’s Diagnostic Imaging Center.

Guests toured the new space with department staff, checked out advanced imaging technology, and received an exclusive first look at other investments currently underway.

During the opening Assemblyman Joseph Angelinodedicated a citation to the hospital recognizing their ongoing efforts to improve care in the community.

A CMH official said, “A special thank you to Assemblyman Joseph Angelino for the citation, and to the members of the UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital Board of Directors, UHS Senior Leaders, and UHS Chenango Memorial leaders, staff, and community members for making this event so special.”

The Hospital also thanked Live Event NY for transforming the hospital's main entrance and lobby into a stunning event space.

NY Representative Josh Riley also recently visited the hospital and met with staff. In a statement shared online he said, “Chenango Memorial Hospital is setting the standard for what rural hospitals ought to look like: accessible, patient-friendly, and community-driven. Touring their facilities in Norwich reminded me how important it is to continue defending healthcare in Upstate New York.”

The new equipment, GE Revolution Apex Platform delivers clearer images, faster results, and improved accessibility. Its advanced features include AI-enhanced imaging and a 675-pound weight capacity, supporting more inclusive care and allowing technologists to spend additional time with patients through streamlined preparation and processing.

Specialized scans – such as cardiac CT – that previously required travel to other facilities can now be performed on-site, strengthening access to comprehensive, high-quality care close to home.
