New EKG machines being added to PSF District Hospital

Through CPKC’s CPKC Has Heart, the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation received $20,000 towards the purchase of 2 ECG Machines for the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick test to check the heartbeat. It records the electrical signals in the heart. Test results can help diagnose heart attacks and irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias.

CPKC Has Heart is focused on raising awareness and funds to improve the heart health of North Americans. Since 2014 they have helped raise over $41.5m.
