Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation: Enhancing Cardiac Services
This season your donation will help purchase a state-of-the-art Cardiac Ultrasound for Kootenay Lake Hospital. This equipment is specifically designed for exceptional cardiac imaging, providing detailed views of the heart's valves, muscles, and chambers. This equipment is essential for assessing heart function and valvular diseases.
In addition to its cardiac capabilities, the system will be used for a range of other important diagnostics, including abdominal, obstetric, pelvic, vascular and small organ ultrasounds, as well as musculoskeletal imaging and much more. The information provided by these exams is imperative for patients and their physicians when critical decisions are needed regarding their health.
Your generous support will help reduce wait times and ensure that patients receive timely assessments and diagnoses, leading to the best possible outcomes.
