In order to continue to provide the quality care that everyone deserves, updated, state of the art equipment is needed.
Modern equipment such as ultrasounds with echo capabilities would mean faster diagnoses, decreased wait times and optimal outcomes.

“Few of us go through life without being touched by someone close to use who hasn’t suffered from a cardiac-related illness. By bringing state of the art ECHO Ultrasounds and other cardiac-related equipment to the North our loved ones can be diagnosed and treated right here at home,” explains Judy Neiser, CEO Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
