Coral Springs, Florida - Broward Health Coral Springs marked a major investment in emergency care with a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating a new state-of-the-art CT (computed tomography) scanner in the emergency room and a newly renovated EMS breakroom.
The event brought together hospital leadership and physicians, members of the North Broward Hospital District Board of Commissioners, elected officials, city and community leaders and representatives from fire rescue and EMS.
“We are so proud of the investment we are making at Broward Health Coral Springs,” said Kristen Bowman, CEO of Broward Health Coral Springs. “The dual-source scanner is especially important for our cardiac CTA patients since the dose is significantly less due to the updated software, and with its location in the ER, it will markedly improve our turnaround time. It’s just one of the many investments we continue to make to better serve our patients with the highest level of care.”
The new Siemens Pro.Pulse dual-source CT scanner delivers higher resolution images, faster scan times and reduced radiation exposure, enhancing the hospital’s ability to diagnose and treat patients quickly, especially in critical situations.
The renovated EMS breakroom reflects the hospital’s commitment to supporting first responders. The updated space offers a comfortable area for EMS crews to complete paperwork, recharge after high-stress calls and access refreshments before returning to service.
“We value our long-standing partnership with Broward Health Coral Springs,” said John Whalen, Fire Chief of Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department. “This new breakroom creates a more welcoming space for our crews and helps them quickly reset and get back on the road serving our community.”
