Midland Memorial Hospital West Campus is located at 4214 Andrews Highway. Purchased by the Midland County Hospital District in December 2001, the West Campus is home to our women and children service lines.
The BirthPlace, located on the 2nd floor, provides outstanding care for expectant mothers and their families. The unit offers modern labor and delivery suites, post-partum care and a nursery. We have licensed nurses who are trained lactation specialists. These special staff members regularly assist new mothers with breastfeeding education and instruction.
Another convenience offered to new mothers is the Beautiful Beginnings Breastfeeding Shoppe, also located on the second floor of the facility. The shop carries a full line of breastfeeding supplies, nursing bras (regular and extended sizes), clothes designed for nursing moms, and many other gift items.
In October of 2003, The Davidson Pediatric Unit relocated to the third floor of the West Campus. This unit is complete with 14 rooms, including two intensive care rooms and four rooms that are used for double occupancy when the need arises. A large playroom for patients and their families is housed within the unit and is stocked with a variety of books, video games, age specific toys, and a large library of movies.
Allison Women's Imaging(AWI) recently relocated its offices and services to the West Campus in February 2004. AWI provides screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, stereotactic guided biopsies, and Bone Mineral Density testing.
A major attribute to the facility is the Level 4 Trauma Center located on the first floor. The center provides stabilization and treatment of minor traumas, and initial stabilization of major trauma or critical patients for transfer to the Main Campus Emergency Department.
These fine services, along with various outpatient programs, are all available to the residents of Midland County and the surrounding region.

Abell Hanger Medical Pavilion
Abell Hanger Medical Pavilion located at 200 Andrews Highway, houses the MRI Department and the Occupational and Physical Therapy Center.
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Department produces highly accurate three-dimensional images for use in diagnosis and treatment of internal problems. MRI is based upon complex interactions between magnetic fields, radio waves and the human body to produce detailed computer-enhanced images which are far superior to other imaging techniques in many instances.
The Occupational and Physical Therapy Center is a specialized outpatient clinic. The clinic provides a variety of rehabilitation services designed to adequately assist you in returning back to your normal duties. Our highly trained professionals are here to help with all your rehabilitation needs.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
What can I expect during the exam?
A highly trained MRI technologist will assist you in getting situated and comfortable, explain the procedure, and answer questions you may have. The technologist will monitor the exam from the adjacent control room and you will be able to communicate with them using a two-way intercom. If you desire you may listen to music during the exam through headphones. As the exam begins, the table will gently slide into the magnet's opening. The first of multiple MRI sequences will then begin and you will be asked to remain still throughout the procedure. During each sequence, you will hear a tapping noise indicating the imaging process is in progress. The area of the body to be scanned and the complexity of the study determine the number of sequences. MRI has the ability to display details that cannot be seen with other imaging techniques.
For certain procedures, patients may be given an intravenous injection to increase the contrast between different tissues. An MRI exam is painless with no side or after effects.
Will I be exposed to radiation?
No radiation is used during an MRI exam. Unlike a traditional x-ray, MRI relies on a magnetic field and radio frequency.
How long will the exam take?
Depending on how many images are to be generated, an MRI exam generally takes 30 to 45 minutes, although a very detailed study may take longer.
How do I prepare for the exam?
In most cases, no special preparation is needed. You may continue your daily routine, eating, drinking and taking any medications as you normally would. Should your exam require any special preparations, the healthcare provider scheduling your exam will give you instructions.
Everyone needs to be screened before entering the MRI suite. Any metallic object might be affected or attracted by the magnetic power of the MRI. It is important that no metal of any kind be permitted in the exam room. It is recommended that you wear clothing without metal zippers, snaps or buttons. If you prefer, you may change into a hospital gown prior to your exam. You will be asked to remove all jewelry, coins, keys, bobby pins, credit cards, pocketknives, and any other metallic objects before entering the exam room. Some permanent eyeliner and jewelry can cause injury. Make-up that contains metal flakes can heat and cause skin irritation. Ladies you may be asked to wash off removable makeup before the exam to avoid the risk of eye injury. Tattoos can contain metal dyes that can heat and cause skin irritation.
Some patients may have metal inside their bodies. Before entering the MRI suite, please inform your technologist if you have:
- a cardiac pacemaker, artificial heart valve or aneurysm clips
- any type of metal plate, prosthesis, pin or metallic implant
- an intrauterine device, such as Copper-7 IUD
- any metal fragments in your body (from a previous gunshot wound or from exposure to metal fragments on the job)
In some cases, patients with any of the above will be rescheduled for an alternative diagnostic exam. Our personnel will determine whether or not you should proceed with this type of procedure.

How will I know the results?
Following your exam, a radiologist specializing in MRI will analyze and interpret the images from your exam and prepare a full report. This report will be sent directly to your physician who will share the results with you. To request a copy of the report, you may contact your physician's office or Midland Memorial Hospital's Medical Records Department at (432) 685-1600.
How do I schedule an appointment?
The physician's office will either contact the MRI department to schedule your appointment or may have you call and make the arrangements. If your physician would like for you to make the arrangements please contact us at (432) 685-4911 and have your order available when you call. We will need to know the type of MRI and the diagnosis your physician has indicated for the procedure.
What do I need to bring with me the day of the exam?
You will need to bring the order your physician gave you, a form of personal identification, and any insurance or Medicare information. If you are taking any medications, please print and complete the second page of the Pocket Medication Card form and bring the list with you. Please do not bring the medications.This will help expedite your visit and reduce the possibility of losing any of your medications.
