Access to quality healthcare shouldn’t depend on location or budget constraints—that’s why Probo Medical is committed to bridging the accessibility gap. Probo re:new's approach to refurbished imaging equipment is redefining accessibility in healthcare— helping to cut budget constraints, ensuring access to advanced technology, and enabling facilities to provide exceptional care where it’s needed most.

The three key factors that contribute to accessibility when purchasing renewed equipment are:

 

Cutting Budget Limitations

Refurbished imaging equipment is substantially more budget-friendly than new machines, as choosing refurbished costs an average of 50% less compared to new systems. When healthcare providers can stretch their budgets further, these facilities can focus their savings on other areas, such as staff training, patient care services, facility upgrades and improving overall healthcare delivery.

Probo re:new addresses the limitations many healthcare providers face by offering a cost-effective yet high-quality alternative to buying brand-new equipment. Increased access to cost effective imaging equipment means the ability for healthcare providers to expand their budget to other life saving services and practices.

 

Expanding High-Quality Care

Access to advanced imaging is essential for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. However, rural communities often face significant barriers to these critical services. Currently, 24% of rural patients must travel hours to tertiary emergency departments due to a lack of local access to advanced imaging technology (JCAR, Disparities in Radiology). These long transfers create additional hardships for families, delay care, and complicate timely treatment.

Probo re:new empowers smaller and rural healthcare facilities to provide high-quality imaging services without the burden of excessive costs. By bringing advanced imaging closer to home, we help families avoid unnecessary travel and ensure patients receive the essential care they need, exactly when they need it.

Accessibility For Smaller & Rural Healthcare Facilities

Pictured here is the team at Probo Medical installing an MRI system at a smaller, rural healthcare facility that did not previously have access to MRI scanning technologies. Through re:new, they were able to afford a refurbished imaging system and increase their communities access to MRI technologies.

 

Access to High-End Technology

A common accessibility concern seen at healthcare facilities is limited access to high-end, critical equipment. Smaller, rural hospitals often do not have the resources or budget for higher-end imaging equipment, such as MRI and CT machines. This means they cannot offer these types of lifesaving scans. Access to these systems can significantly improve the quality of patient care, particularly for practices that would not otherwise be able to afford and implement advanced imaging technologies.

Through re:new, healthcare facilities—particularly smaller clinics and those in rural areas— now have the opportunity to access higher-end imaging systems that might otherwise been out of reach if they were buying new.

 

Creating An Accessible Healthcare Future

Probo re:new empowers healthcare providers to take meaningful strides toward a more accessible future. By choosing refurbished medical imaging equipment, healthcare professionals can gain access to high-end technologies, cut budget limitations and expand high-quality care. Renewed equipment is not just a smarter choice, but a responsible one when you're delivering exceptional patient care to your community.
