For Patients

As part of BJC Imaging, we offer benefits that aren't available at other facilities, including the latest advancements in imaging technology, which means faster procedures and more detailed images, so your results are right — the first time. With our advanced software, your physician has access to your image and all of your clinical information almost immediately.
 

Enhanced Safety

As a hospital, we are better equipped to deal with any allergic reactions or exam findings needing immediate medical attention.
 

Quality of Service

Our board-certified radiologists often specialize in specific areas of the body and are trained to detect even the smallest abnormality.
 

Convenience

Your physician will have a full report within 24 to 48 hours.
We offer flexible hours, including weekends at some locations; we can often get you in the same day your physician orders your test
If all of your images are done at a BJC HealthCare facility, they are easily available for comparisons in the future, no matter which BJC hospital you visit.
 

We’re Non-Profit

Unlike for-profit corporations, which exist to make money for company owners and shareholders, BJC HealthCare is a non-profit health care organization that exists solely to provide health-related programs and services for the public benefit. Many of these services are not otherwise available to the community.
