Shore Regional Health Announces Imaging Changes due to COVID-19

Shore Regional Health has announced a reduction in diagnostic imaging services for the time being due to COVID-19.

According to Dr. Kim Oster, president, Shore Radiology, and Dr. Dale Johnson, chairman, Shore Regional Health Radiology Departments, and in keeping with the directive of the state health secretary, as of March 24, 2020, all elective/non-urgent imaging at all facilities are postponed and only critical imaging is being performed.

Critical imaging services include trauma, oncology, infection, ischemia, acute bleeding, and acute neurologic changes. Other requests are reviewed by the imaging team on a case-by-case basis.

“We are calling patients with appointments scheduled in the next several weeks to inform them of this change, but we also want potential ‘walk-ins’ to know that their test will not be conducted at this time so they will not make an unnecessary trip,” says Penny Olivi, director, Diagnostic Imaging for UM Shore Regional Health. “We expect to begin accepting appointment requests for elective/non-urgent imaging in mid-April. If you have a question about your appointment or whether or not an imaging location is we open, please call 410-822-1000, extension 2600.”

In addition, the Diagnostic & Imaging Center has cancelled Saturday hours until further notice.
