UH Portage Medical Center Reveals Enhanced Nuclear Medicine Department

RAVENNA, Ohio - University Hospitals Portage Medical Center revealed a state-of-the-art Nuclear Medicine Department featuring new technology that will provide patients with access to advanced imaging and procedures close to home.

This latest addition continues UH Portage Medical Center's commitment to bringing more advanced treatments and technologies to Portage County patients. Over the past year, UH Portage Medical Center completed multi-million-dollar renovations to its Breast Health Center and Catheterization & Electrophysiology Department.
