At Trinity Health Western Dakota in Williston, we see firsthand the impact of accessible, compassionate healthcare. Every day, our providers care for families, farmers, oilfield workers, and neighbors who rely on us for everything from routine checkups to life-changing diagnoses. As Williston continues to grow and evolve, so too must the care we provide.
Your generosity makes this possible. With your support, we can invest in enhancements that directly benefit patients in the Williston area:
Infant Hearing Screener – $6,000
Every baby deserves the best possible start in life. With a new infant hearing screener, Trinity Health Western Dakota will be able to perform newborn hearing screenings right here in Williston. Early detection of hearing loss is essential for healthy speech, language, and cognitive development — and yet, families in our region currently must travel hours to Minot or beyond for this simple but critical test. Bringing this service close to home means families can receive timely answers and peace of mind, while ensuring every newborn in western North Dakota has access to the same early screening available in larger communities.
DEXA Scanner – $60,000
Strong bones are key to maintaining independence, mobility, and overall quality of life. A new DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scanner will replace Western Dakota’s aging, outdated model — providing more accurate and faster results for assessing bone density and detecting osteoporosis. This advanced technology will allow providers to diagnose concerns earlier and monitor treatment progress with greater precision. For patients, that means clearer information, more confident care decisions, and a better chance to prevent fractures before they happen. It’s an investment in keeping our community active, healthy, and strong.
3Dimensions™ Mammography System – $400,000
When it comes to breast health, early detection saves lives. The Hologic 3Dimensions™ Mammography System offers the most advanced 3D imaging technology available, providing earlier and more accurate detection — especially for women with dense breast tissue. These state-of-the-art machines deliver exceptional clarity with shorter compression times, making exams both more comfortable and more effective. The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam available on this system has been proven to find more invasive cancers than traditional 2D mammography, offering women greater peace of mind and a better chance for successful treatment. By investing in this technology, we’re bringing greater comfort, clarity, and hope to the women of our region — because improved care can truly save lives.
Each of these opportunities helps ensure that high-quality care is available close to home — right here in Williston.
