The Municipality of Kincardine have made an offer to the South Bruce Grey Health Centre that they hope will result in the purchase of the Siemens Drive CT scanner.
Hospital President and CEO Micheal Barrett and Board Chair John Gilbert went to Council last Wednesday night for a delegation.
Both indicated to Council that the hospital’s choice was the Siemens Edge Plus scanner which they said was less expensive but just as reliable.
Deputy Mayor Randy Roppel says they – quote – “sweetened the pot” – closed quote – in order to get the hospital to go with the one preferred by patients and doctors.

KINCARDINE, ONT. Work is already underway to bring the Kincardine Hospital its first ever CT scanner. “We’re very excited to be installing a new CT scanner at the Kincardine site of the South Bruce Grey Health Centre. We’re moving forward with the installation, sometime this fall,” says South Bruce Grey Health Centre CEO Michael Barrett. But not everybody is happy with the CT scanner the hospital board has chosen. It has decided to install the Siemens Edge Plus, cheaper and newer - not the Siemens Drive, more expensive, but considered superior by many. “The community wants the best for us. We’re a growing a community. We can support it. We’re great with community fundraising, so there’s no reason we shouldn’t have it,” says Judi Brown, a long-time Kincardine resident.
