Madrona Imaging is a group of 10 full time radiologists and 6 part time radiologists providing Radiology and Nuclear Medicine services to the Central Vancouver Island region. Our public facilities include Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH), West Coast General Hospital, Tofino General Hospital and Oceanside Health Center. Madrona Imaging also owns and operates a community imaging centre in Nanaimo.
NRGH is the tertiary referral centre for Central Vancouver Island with a population of 450,000 people. The hospital has undergone multiple renovations in the recent past with the addition of a new Intensive Care Unit and High Acuity Care Unit. Construction will begin shortly on a new BC Cancer Agency facility on the hospital grounds. The new BCCA facility will include a PET/CT scanner. During the most recent provincial election, both major parties made commitments to accelerate plans for a new hospital in Nanaimo, to serve the Central Island’s growing population.

About Nanaimo
