Va expands radiology services in delaware | va wilmington health care | veterans affairs

On October 25, the Wilmington VA Medical Center held a ribbon cutting for its new radiology suite at the Kent County VA Clinic, located at Blue Hen Mall Plaza at 655 South Bay Rd, Suite 3C,

in Dover, Delaware. Veterans in Delaware who live in Kent or Sussex County may no longer have to travel to the Wilmington VA or to a community provider for an X-ray or CT scan.  The addition

of the 600-square-foot radiology suite gives better access to X-rays and computed tomography scans also known as CT scans. This expansion reflects a commitment to improving healthcare

access for Veterans in the region. Kent County VA Clinic Nurse Manager Saino Peal says she has already seen great satisfaction amongst local Veterans who have already come in for CT scans

and X-rays. “This radiology suite helps minimize any delays in care for our Veterans when it comes to CT scans and X-rays,” said Peal. “Being a Veteran myself, it is gratifying to be part of

a team that is advancing ease of access of care for our Veterans." The new radiology services will complement the 29,000 square foot Dover VA Clinic's range of healthcare

offerings, which include general health care, eye care, podiatry, physical therapy, behavioral health, women’s health, blood work, and vaccinations. “While CT scanners are typically found in

larger VA facilities, we are proud to offer this advanced imaging capability at the Kent County VA Clinic,” said Radiologist Chad Rabinowitz. “This will enable us to provide our patients

with more comprehensive and timely diagnostic services by enhancing imaging access.” The Wilmington VA remains committed to expanding world-class health care closer to home for all Veterans.
