Expecting The Best. Delivering The Best.
In 2003, the Witham Foundation purchased two infant warmers for the new Witham Maternity Center. The total cost of the warmers was $19,658 and was made possible through Capital Campaign donations.

Mammography Equipment
In 2005 The Foundation helped purchase a Mammography (CAD) computer aided detection-computer based unit that digitized and evaluated the images on a microscopic level that compares the information to proven cancers. The data enables the computer to "mark" an area on the digitized image to assist the Radiologist on an area of potential pathology. The CAD unit is a truly valuable resource that enables detection of breast cancer potentially 9-24 months earlier than without.

CT Scan Unit
The Foundation also helped to purchase the Philips CT-advanced imaging system with 40 slice capabilities to image patients faster and with significantly higher resolution. This advanced technology provides the Radiologist with high resolution images and additional resources for more informative interpretations to referring physicians.

4-D Ultrasound
In 2005 The Foundation helped the hospital purchase the 4D US- sonographic unit with full ultrasound capabilities, as well as live 3D imaging. The fourth dimension is time, which is referring to the live 3D. This enables ultrasound imaging for increased quality of images and 3D video clips that can be saved to a CD. This image capture method provides patients and their family and friends the opportunity to see their unborn child in a whole different way!

Educational Assistance
Foundation loans are available to Boone County students and Witham Health Service employees, enabling them to pursue degrees in healthcare professions. Since 1988, over $250,000 has been provided to students and employees.
