Advanced Heart Rhythm Services
Our cardiac program rivals the best in the country. However, it is incomplete. Every year, hundreds of patients from across the BC interior suffer urgent, life-threatening complications arising from abnormal heart rhythms or cardiac arrhythmias. In all cases, patients must wait for a bed to become available in Vancouver or Victoria, then travel hundreds of kilometers from home to receive the lifesaving treatment. Together, we can change that.
Help us complete the Interior Health Cardiac Science Program. Philanthropic support is needed to fund a modern, advanced Electrophysiology (EP) Lab at KGH. The addition of such a service will complete the heart program, ensuring immediate access to lifesaving cardiac care, right here at KGH. Donate now or contact us to learn more.
Working closely with Interior Health’s Cardiac Sciences team and, with your support, our goal is to fund a state-of-the-art electrophysiology (EP) lab, right here at KGH.
