In a remarkable display of generosity, the Broadwater Community Health Foundation has made a significant investment in local health care by providing new electrocardiogram (EKG) machines to Billings Clinic Broadwater.
EKG machines perform a test that records the electrical signals in the heart. They show how the heart is beating. During an EKG, sticky patches called electrodes are placed on the chest and sometimes on the arms or legs. Wires connect the patches to a computer, which prints or displays results. This invaluable contribution will help ensure prompt and accurate diagnoses for patients in need of cardiac care.
The investment of more than $25,000 is a testament to the foundation’s commitment to improving the well-being of community members. By equipping the hospital with the latest technology, they have empowered healthcare professionals in Townsend to deliver a high standard of care to patients suffering from cardiac conditions. With the addition of these advanced EKG machines, Billings Clinic Broadwater
is better equipped to diagnose cardiac abnormalities swiftly and accurately, enabling timely interventions that can potentially save lives. Moreover, the enhanced capabilities of these machines will streamline the diagnostic process, reducing wait times and ensuring that patients receive the care they need promptly.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Community Health Foundation for their exceptional generosity and dedication to advancing healthcare in our community,” said Justin Tiffany, Billings Clinic Broadwater CEO. “Their investment in our hospital’s cardiac care capabilities is a testament to their commitment to the well-being of our community.”
Thanks to the continued support of the Broadwater Community Health Foundation, Billings Clinic Broadwater is better positioned to continue meeting the healthcare needs of the residents in Townsend and Broadwater County.
