A unique health project has come to fruition for Winkler.

Heartland X-Ray is a private X-Ray clinic that owner Dr. Denise Vicari hopes meets a need in the community.

"Often people need an x-ray... and this just gives them insight right away when they can't get in at emergency or with their doctor," she says. "It gives them a reading within 24 hours."

Whether injuries occur on the farm, playing sports or on the playground, Vicari hopes to give people an affordable option for quick answers.

"This is going to be a shortcut, a preview... you can book immediately and get those answers," she says.

The X-Ray readings can also be copied and shared with other healthcare providers.

Vicari is also the owner of Heartland Chiropractic, and says she takes no profits from Heartland X-Ray. Instead she has earmarked any profits to upgrade the clinic's equipment and even possibly add an MRI in the future.

Even if she were to leave the practice, Vicari says she plans to bequeath the X-Ray clinic to the community as a non-profit and governed by a board of directors.

"This would be my legacy for this city."

Heartland X-Ray held their grand opening last weekend
