Saratoga Hospital Adds Advanced CT Scanner

Saratoga Hospital has replaced its CT scanner in the Emergency Department with a state-of-the-art Siemens X. Cite model, thanks to the generosity of key community donors. The Saratoga Hospital Volunteer Guild and The Robert and Lisa Moser Family Foundation contributed the lead gifts to the project, as well as generous support from Bill and Susan Dake, Mike and Linda Toohey, and Millennium Medical Imaging.

Each of the donors have a longstanding history of supporting Saratoga Hospital. Members of the Volunteer Guild perform a vital role within the Hospital, with more than 200 volunteers providing upwards of 60,000 hours of services annually in hospital locations. Lisa Moser previously served on the Saratoga Hospital Foundation Board and currently sits on the Albany Med Health System Board. The Dake family has supported Saratoga Hospital for over five decades, with Bill and Susan Dake both serving on the Hospital Board of Trustees. Mike and Linda Toohey have consistently supported hospital programs and initiatives, and Millennium Medical Imaging, Saratoga Hospital’s medical imaging provider, contributed through a philanthropic partnership.

“We are deeply grateful to these donors for their incredible generosity and making the new equipment a reality,” said Jill VanKuren, Saratoga Hospital president and CEO. “The new CT scanner has already become an integral part of daily operations in the hospital’s Emergency Department and inpatient care since becoming operational in mid-August. In addition to its superior imaging, the scanner is designed with patient safety in mind, reducing radiation exposure and minimizing the need for repositioning during scans.”

The Siemens X. Cite CT scanner offers advanced imaging capabilities that will enable quicker, more precise diagnoses, significantly enhancing the hospital’s ability to provide timely care. “The new scanner provides superior imaging, allowing for faster scans with improved diagnostic accuracy,” said David Hindson, MD, Saratoga Hospital Medical Staff president and Millenium Medical Imaging vice president. “This means shorter wait times, faster diagnoses, and more streamlined treatment planning—critical factors for better patient outcomes and clinical efficiency.”
