SHERIDAN – As Sheridan County continues to grow, the need for outpatient radiology services has also increased. In an effort to meet that need, Sheridan Memorial Hospital will expand its hours for outpatient imaging services beginning April 1, 2024.
Outpatient imaging services include services such as MRIs, mammography, CTs and X-rays.
Appointments for outpatient radiology services will now be available into the evening hours and Saturday mornings. This expanded access allows community members to schedule their appointments at times most convenient for them.
“We know making time for appointments during regular business hours isn’t always easy,” said Chris Bilyeu, radiology manager at Sheridan Memorial Hospital. “By expanding our hours, we aim to increase access to healthcare for area residents and meet the changing needs of Sheridan County.”
As access for imaging services expand, SMH would like to remind patients that they receive their results through the patient portal at the same time as providers. Once the provider has a chance to review the results, contact will be made to discuss the patient’s next step in terms of receiving additional care if necessary.
The announcement to expand radiology hours was first made at the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday, February 28.
