(Columbus, KS) – Mercy Hospital Columbus plans to host a formal blessing ceremony at 10:00 am, on Friday, September 29, 2023, to celebrate the opening of its new computed tomography suite in the hospital.
Advanced imaging such as CT scans or 3D mammography is often described as multiple “slices” of the same image, referring to the different angles that are revealed of the same area that’s examined, allowing for more detail to be seen and therefore more information gathered to provide diagnoses.
This new offering to the Columbus community is a 64-slice scanner, making for both faster imaging times and higher resolution images for Mercy physicians to read, which gives patients more accurate test results.
Although the service will be offered in an existing Mercy facility, it is the organization’s tradition to hold a formal ceremony when a new service is being, asking God’s blessing on the location and work to be done in it.
Members of the media are invited to cover the ceremony where administrator Angie Saporito will be available for interviews.
