Soldiers’ New MRI

Marks a Community

Milestone

One of our biggest accomplishments in 2023 was the arrival
and installation of the new state-of-the-art Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine.

The purchase of the new machine is attributed to three years of community
fundraising and the generosity of so many donors to bring advanced care to
Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital.

Now fully functional, our patients and healthcare team are expressing
sincere gratitude for the major upgrade.
