Another step forward is being made for the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation's MRI project, with meetings underway.
Their Project Kickoff meeting was held yesterday with SDI Canada, the company working on the design and construction of the MRI room in St. Joseph's Hospital.
The project has previously had a goal for the design phase to begin this May, with construction taking place in the summer and an expected end date sometime in May/June of next year.
With this meeting, St. Joseph's Hospital officially made a deposit on the MRI machine and the surrounding structure, solidifying the plan into reality.
They expect site surveys to begin over the next two weeks before the next steps are taken.
St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation thanked everyone in the southeast community who helped to make the project possible.
