Cardiac Care Boosted by $1 Million Donation
27 Sep
Summary
- A $1 million donation will fund a third EP Lab at University Hospital.
- The expansion aims to address doubled patient demand over 20 years.
- This upgrade will help reduce wait times for cardiac procedures.
London Health Sciences Centre is set to enhance its cardiac care services thanks to a substantial $1 million donation from local philanthropists Andy and Helen Spriet. This significant gift will facilitate the establishment of a third Electrophysiology (EP) Lab at University Hospital, a critical step in a larger $6.5 million initiative to upgrade and expand the hospital's cardiac facilities.
The need for this expansion is driven by a considerable increase in patient demand, which has doubled over the past two decades, and persistent challenges with wait times. The addition of a new EP Lab is expected to provide the cardiac teams with greater capacity, enabling them to manage more complex cases and improve timely access to essential procedures for patients in London.
