San Andreas, CA...As a continuation of Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital’s ongoing strategy to provide the best available health care, construction began September 27, 2009 in preparation for the installation of a new digital mammography system on the hospital campus in San Andreas. The 3-phase construction project is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2010. This new digital technology, not currently available in Calaveras County, is a system in which x-ray film is replaced by solid-state detectors that convert x-rays into electric signals similar to those found in digital cameras.
