"These additional ultrasound resources are truly a game-changer in delivering excellent patient-centered care."
That from Walter Panzirer, a trustee for the Helmsley Charitable Trust, which on Thursday announced $12.3 million in grants to help Wyoming hospitals and health centers buy new ultrasound equipment.
Per the Casper Star-Tribune, 97 of the 143 devices purchased through the grants are point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) machines, which are used by providers at the bed or table to quickly determine a course of action for a patient.
Another $1.6 million will go to the University of Wyoming's Wyoming Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training Initiative, which aims to enhance patient care across the state by both broadening the scope of training in specialty ultrasound and bolstering access to quality POCUS services.
"Our hospitals and health centers need to stay current with rapidly advancing technology so they can continue to provide top-notch healthcare close to home," Panzirer says.
