Two new MRI-safe wheelchairs are now helping patients move safely and more easily through Wellington Regional Hospital!
Funded by our generous community, the wheelchairs are specially designed for use around MRI equipment, allowing patients to be transported right through to the MRI area without needing to transfer to another chair.
It’s a practical piece of equipment that can make a big difference for patients and the healthcare teams caring for them, helping make transfers easier, safer and more comfortable.
Thank you to our donors who helps make equipment like this possible, your generosity continues to strengthen healthcare for patients across our hospitals.
