Phase one of HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital’s construction project is officially complete. The hospital in Shelbyville has installed its new CT scanner, and hospital staff have completed the training and started using the scanner for its patients this past week.

Glenda Plunkett is the Marketing Coordinator at HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital. She says the 64-slice CT scanner will provide many benefits compared to the hospital’s former 16-slice scanner.

Plunkett says a 64-slice scanner is not something you normally find in a rural hospital like HSHS Good Shepherd.

Plunkett says there is more to come with the hospital’s construction project. All of the work is expected to be completed by April.
