Mark Twain St. Josephs Hospital Breaks Ground for New MRI
Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital broke ground on June 13th for a new “fixed-site” Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) facility on the hospital’s campus in San Andreas. The new Imaging Center, with its General Electric 1.5 Tesla MRI system, will replace the mobile unit now in use. “All of us at Mark Twain are excited about the new fixed MRI” said hospital president Feliciano. “The new facility will provide greater access to health care for our community, and will actually enable us to lower our operating costs while providing a long-term approach for .....
enhanced patient experience.” The new General Electric 1.5 Tesla EchoSpeed 8-Channel MR system provides Hi-Definition data pipeline architecture and advanced applications. The opening of the new Imaging Center is scheduled for August.
The enclosure building for a MRI system is extremely high technology and requires design and quality considerations beyond typical commercial construction. A partnership was formed between Aspen Street Architects (Angels Camp), design/build experts Diede Construction (Lodi) and component construction experts Modern Renovators (Lorretto, Tennessee), along with General Electric Healthcare to bring this imaging capability to Calaveras County.

Established in 1951 as Mark Twain District Hospital and centrally located in San Andreas, the hospital is partnered with Catholic Healthcare West to further strengthen this rural hospital to meet future community needs. The hospital is supported by 36 active physicians practicing in 24 specialties.
