MRI at Laguna Beach
The Sue and Bill Gross Emergency Department at Mission Hospital Laguna Beach has new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, thanks to the Gross’ very generous $10 million gift to enhance imaging and emergency services.
The MRI is part of a comprehensive plan funded by the Grosses that includes new imaging technologies, expanded and enhanced facilities, and the provision of emergency support services to ensure sustainability for generations to come.
Advanced imaging technology is critical in emergency medicine. The Gross’ gift will fund imaging enhancements that will enrich patient comfort and convenience, promote optimal healing and augment the efficiency of treatment.
