Ohio County Hospital has recently added new enhanced magnetic resonance imaging system (MRI) technology.  With the conversion of the Intera 1.5 system to a 16 Channel MRI system, patients and physicians in the region can now access some of the latest-generation imaging scans.  This MRI system enables faster and higher-resolution scans, resulting in high image quality and potentially more accurate diagnoses.

In addition, the hospital says patients will experience many comfort-related features that make getting an MRI a more positive experience.

The Office of the Surgeon General along with the Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps awarded the Green River District Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) with the 2011 Ambassador Award earlier this month in Grapevine, Texas.

Emergency management officials estimate that at least 200 homes across Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Ohio, Union & Webster counties sustained significant damage from recent severe flooding.

One major problem left in the wake of this disaster is the growth of mold.
