Diagnostic Imaging and Emergency Department Project

Following an in-depth long range strategic planning process by the hospital, a need to expand and enhance its diagnostic imaging and emergency services was identified in order to meet the growing needs of the community. In 2004, there were 2,337 mammography examinations administered at Lewis County General Hospital.   The current female population of age 35 and above is approximately 7,500.   Recent announcements by the military suggest our county will see a growth in the younger population as a result of 3,000 more troops and their families being stationed with the 10 th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, which is approximately 25 miles from Lowville.   A number of military families are housed in our county, and many use our facility's Obstetrics/Gynecology Department, particularly when soldiers are deployed and access to on-base clinic services may be limited.   It is also anticipated our female population will require additional breast cancer information and screenings .
