Penobscot Valley Hospital (PVH) is making advanced imaging more accessible for our community. If you or a loved one need an MRI, remember that you can request a referral to have your scan performed right here in Lincoln—close to home, with expanded availability and state-of-the-art technology. This is one more step we are taking to meet our mission: To be our community’s trusted healthcare partner, committed to the health and well-being of those we serve with compassion, quality, and excellence.
Our open MRI system offers a more comfortable experience for patients who may feel anxious in traditional enclosed MRI machines. Additionally, the unit now supports a higher weight capacity of up to 500 pounds, ensuring more patients can receive the imaging they need without traveling long distances. Our new system allows us to take higher quality, more focused images for a quicker and more accurate diagnosis.
MRI services at PVH are available every Tuesday and Thursday, with expanded hours to better accommodate patient schedules. We also have appointments available, reducing wait times and helping you get the care you need faster. As demand grows, we will be able to increase availability even further, ensuring we continue to meet the needs of our community with convenient, high-quality imaging services.
Choosing PVH for your MRI means receiving high-quality imaging while staying close to your home, family, and healthcare providers. Speak with your primary care provider today and ask to have your MRI, or other imaging needs, scheduled at PVH.
