Phillips County Health Systems

Phillips County Health System is excited to announce that Shared Medical Services, our mobile MRI service provider, is adding the SIGNA Voyager to our imaging services. This advanced system from GE Healthcare is designed to help maximize comfort for patients while delivering uncompromised image quality. Features include: ? INCREASED PATIENT COMFORT: A 70cm wide bore eases patient fears. GE’s most advanced noise-reducing technology, SilentWorks, reduces sound levels to roughly the same as ambient noise. Breathe-free applications eliminate the need for breath-holds during the exam; which decreases the patient’s stress level. Experience an overall decrease in claustrophobia. ? ENHANCED PATIENT EXPERIENCE: Patients can select sound and lighting to fit their mood for a personalized experience which includes skylights, murals, and an integrated music system. The increased signal allows the exam time to be shortened without compromising image quality. Experience an overall decrease in the need for sedation. Now Available for scheduling! Call the Phillips County Radiology Department for more information at (785) 540-4930.

?? Wear green for Mental Health Awareness Month. ?? Today, the PCHS team proudly wore green in solidarity with Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to stand with those affected by mental illness and their families. Each passing year confronts numerous families with the daily reality of navigating mental health challenges. According to Mental Health in America, nearly 1 in 5 American adults grapple with mental illness annually, yet fewer than half seek treatment. Our mission extends beyond treatment; we aspire to shatter the stigma surrounding mental health, ensuring that no one traverses their journey alone. By wearing green, we express our continued support and compassion to our community and their loved ones. For more information about our mental health services, please call, Senior Life Solutions at 785-540-4991.
