Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center (19300 S.W. 65th Ave., Tualatin) has expanded its suite of imaging services with new MRI technology that makes exams faster, quieter, and more comfortable. The center is now scheduling patients for appointments.

Designed to reduce patient anxiety, the new MRI features a wider exam table and shorter chamber, helping patients feel less enclosed while significantly reducing scan times.

“We want to ensure a patient’s exam experience is as positive and as stress-free as possible,” said Joe Yoder, President of Legacy Health’s Willamette Valley Region.

Beyond the new MRI, the center provides comprehensive imaging services including walk-in X-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, CT scans, and more. To better accommodate patients, Legacy Meridian Park has expanded its availability to include evening and weekend appointment slots.
