SIR LESTER BIRD MOUNT ST. JOHN'S MEDICAL CENTRE

Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC) recently announced that it has received a donation of an electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) machine from the Friends of Mount St. John’s Medical Centre (FoMSJMC). The equipment, valued at over $15-thousand XCD, is earmarked for the hospital’s outpatient clinic.

An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in the heart. It is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart.  

“The generosity of FoMSJMC has been a pillar of SLBMC’s growth-story over the years,” said Salma Crump, Head of Marketing & Communications at SLBMC. “This dedicated charitable organization has donated funding for just about every area of our hospital—equipment, facilities, training. All of us at SLBMC are so grateful for the continuous support from the Friends of MSJMC—Happy to announce, soon to be Friends of SLBMC. This donation increases the number of ECG machines at our hospital which will help improve the expert care delivered by our team. They are a true friend; the positive impact of this donation will be felt by many in our communities.” 

“We support the people of Antigua & Barbuda through the work that we do raising funds to help advance the mission of the hospital,” said Dwayna Derrick, President of FoMSJMC. “Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre is the nation’s hospital—We’ve been supporting them for decades and will continue to do so for many more to come.
