The lab is part of a $25 million expansion and includes a new CT and fluoroscopy machine.

“Now we can schedule any time of day and do up to maybe five to six CT biopsies a day where we were only able to do two before,” Lia Dickes, MSN, RN, manager of vascular and interventional radiology, told KCRG. “I’m so excited to be able to get our patients in quicker and faster to be able to get them answers so we can give them treatment faster.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
