MedBuild, the specialized healthcare division of Modular Space Corporation (ModSpace®), has completed construction of a new PET/CT imaging facility for Nash General Hospital in Rocky Mount, N.C.

“Nash General Hospital was leasing a mobile PET/CT trailer at a monthly premium for years,” says Jim Gabriel, Director of Business Development for MedBuild. “Our patient-ready modular building solution saved them the costly monthly expense, and provides patients an aesthetically-pleasing environment. Within just six months, the new imaging facility was built, equipment was installed, and everything was fully operational. As a result, the hospital was seeing patients with no downtime, which translates to zero loss of revenues.”
MedBuild offers full architectural drawing and design packages covering 96 equipment models for the industry’s leading OEMs—including Siemens Healthcare, Toshiba, Hitachi, General Electric, and Philips—enabling imaging suites to be designed around the equipment. With MedBuild’s pre-configured designs, Nash Hospital was able to eliminate the extra planning and design time, delays, and expense that is typically associated with designing a modular imaging suite around the device.
Nash General Hospital’s 1,064-square-foot, patient-ready imaging suite houses an imaging room, an exam room, two private patient waiting rooms, and administrative office for the hospital’s radiology department. Additionally, the control room was designed around Nash’s specific computer system and to accommodate additional support equipment if needed.
