Summary: To purchase a CT Scanner and Mobile Ultrasound machine to be able to provide urgent care at Cook County Health’s Arlington Heights Community Health Center, which is located at 3250 North Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, Illinois, 60004. CT Scanner and mobile ultrasound technology are crucial tools for urgent care facilities because the technology can be used to improve communication between the patient and their care team and to diagnose problems faster. Because the care team can see the problem directly on the CT Scanner and mobile ultrasound machine, they can then discuss the issue more effectively with the patient. Using CT and mobile ultrasound scans reveals the nature of the patient’s problem and provides the patient with a clearer understanding of the next steps in the care process. Rather than havin to wait for their diagnosis and line up to use the CT scanner and ultrasound at a local hospital, patients can use urgent care CT scanners and mibile ultrasound systems to reduce their wait.
