The Diagnostic Imaging Department is a fundamental component of patient care and touches all we do at CMH.

and its capabilities since the arrival of the first MRI in 2012.
Facility dogs provide goal-directed interventions that can help staff with improvement in physical, social, emotional, or cognitive abilities.
CMH is pleased to introduce National Service Dog (NSD) Ember, as its dedicated facility dog.
Ember is the first facility dog to be placed in a Canadian Hospital with the role of offering stress release, mental health support and emotional comfort in high-stress environments. Ember and her handler team are specially trained to support the mental health and well-being of staff, physicians, midwives, and volunteers.

Promoting inclusion and diversity
The installation of a progress flag crosswalk represents CMH’s
commitment to incorporating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into the culture, identity, and practices of the Hospital. In the past two years, CMH has actively pursued DEI through the establishment of a Diversity Council and becoming an employer partner with the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion.

As we strive for exceptional healthcare, we turn
to our community for support. Over the next two years, our priority is raising funds for a new MRI.
Each year, our Hospital requires an investment of $5 million from
our community to purchase new and replacement equipment.
Community dollars fund 100% of the equipment in our Hospital. Every donation you make, every gift you give — big or small, is an investment in
the health of our community.
