MRI UPDATE $2,073,208

Because of your generous investment, the plans to bring an MRI to GBGH are moving along
with great efficiency! We are thrilled to share that the team has selected the Magnetom Sola
1.5T as the MRI machine that will be purchased for GBGH.

The sketches have been drawn for the 2,000 square foot addition to the building, and all
detailed architectural and mechanical plans have been submitted to the Ministry of Health
Capital Branch for approval.

In the meantime, the team is working on selecting a contractor for the project and the
construction fence was installed in December, to prepare the space for work to begin in
Spring of 2024.

These developments are possible because our community
has come together, and succeeded in raising more than
$2-million in less than 12 months for this project. To see plans for the new MRI space,
