Each year at Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC), an average of 14,000 residents seek medical assistance due to cardiac concerns at the hospital.
For the second year in a row, Headwaters is hosting the Have a Heart for Headwaters Initiative to raise funds to help cardiac care at the hospital.
“We need the tools and equipment to stabilize these patients before they are either transferred to a partnering hospital for specialized care or being discharged home,” said Kendra Mantler, Coordinator, Community and Corporate Engagement, at Headwaters Health Care Foundation.
Unfortunately, the hospital doesn’t receive government funding to be able to purchase the necessary equipment needed, hence the need of community support coming into play.
