Diagnostic imaging efforts at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance are shifting.
Breast cancer screening, as well as hours for diagnostic services, are expanding.
In terms of mammographies, Adam Topp, president and CEO of CKHA, said the province widened the scope to cover people aged 40-49, and the alliance reacted.
CKHA has two new mammography technicians, and Topp reported the imaging team has had, as of Dec. 2, done more than 100 tests on individuals in that age bracket.
Wait times sit at about 22 days, he said, which are the shortest in the Erie-St. Clair region.
On top of the breast cancer screening, diagnostic services in general will have expanded hours for walk ins in Chatham and Wallaceburg.
Topp said in Chatham, the X-ray and ultrasound hours for walk-in patients are expanded to 5 p.m. from 4 p.m.
In Wallaceburg, those hours extend to 8 p.m.
