Saint Joseph Berea recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new nuclear medicine camera, supported by a $350,000 federal grant facilitated by Congressman Andy Barr. This advanced equipment aims to improve diagnostic testing for local patients, eliminating the need to travel for care. The new camera, operational since July 31, has already been used for 194 patients, offering faster imaging times and enhancing early detection of diseases, particularly cardiovascular issues, as Kentucky faces significant health risks in this area. Hospital officials emphasized the importance of the camera in saving lives and improving community health.
