Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health has welcomed two new Philips echocardiography ultrasound machines.
Through the support of donors, Renown Health Foundation raised over $400,000 last year to purchase these two machines.
Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health offers a wide range of services, from routine screenings to advanced treatments for heart disease. These new echocardiogram machines help our doctors get faster and more accurate pictures of the heart, which means they can detect heart problems earlier and start treatment more quickly. The funding also supported upgrades to the Institute’s cardiac workstations and provided home blood pressure cuffs, allowing patients to monitor their heart health from home.
“The new EKG machines are a great addition. They help us diagnose patients faster, allow for earlier discharge, and start life-saving treatment more quickly for serious heart conditions. We are grateful to Renown and our donors for ensuring we have the best equipment to deliver accurate, timely results,” said Dr. Chris Wilson, cardiologist at Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health.

With the addition of upgraded technology and new equipment, Renown Health is strengthening heart care in our community, yet the need for continued support remains as urgent as ever. As heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in this region and nationally, donations make it possible for Renown to maintain and grow these critical services. Every gift helps us stay at the forefront of heart care and provide the best treatment options for our patients.
We are incredibly grateful to the individuals and families who made these important advancements in heart care possible.
Renown Health is the region’s only not-for-profit academic health system, meaning 100% of donations go directly toward improving patient care, advancing technology, and expanding services for our community. To learn more or make a tax-deductible gift, visit renown.org/donate.
