EPH extends hours for diagnostic imaging
The Diagnostic Imaging Department at Estes Park Health is increasing its operating hours. With increased staffing, EPH is extending its hours for MRI and mammography, offering additional appointment times for our outpatients who need these services.
Starting on Monday, November 25, EPH will have an MRI tech onsite from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The first scheduled outpatient appointment will be available at 7 a.m. and the final outpatient will be scheduled at 4:45 p.m. for a 5 p.m. appointment start time. This schedule allows for three additional outpatient appointments each day.
The MRI techs will still be at the hospital to scan any Emergency Department of inpatients who need an MRI from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
