Diagnostics

Northwest Specialty Hospital houses the region’s only open air MRI, which eliminates the feeling of claustrophobia common to older, enclosed versions. It is also much more comfortable for individuals who have broad shoulder or who may be heavyset.

Northwest Specialty Hospital also houses its own X-ray and laboratory facilities. Endoscopic procedures are performed here by our specialists.
