The grant was given to the spine institute by the SIH Auxiliary and will be used to purchase a transcranial doppler. 

The ultrasound device can look at blood vessels inside a person’s head to assess damage from a stroke, aneurism or other brain injury. The noninvasive device will allow patients to seek care locally without being referred to physicians outside of the area, the report said. 

There is no official date for the transcranial doppler to arrive at the hospital.  

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
