Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of poor health and premature death worldwide, emphasizing the importance of accessible heart care. At Grundy County Memorial Hospital (GCMH), we prioritize heart health and offer a range of cardiology treatments and services to ensure the wellbeing of our patients. Expanded diagnostic capabilities From electrocardiograms (ECGs) and echocardiograms to stress tests, our diagnostic offerings allow for timely results and treatment plans for various cardiac conditions. GCMH recently introduced nuclear and treadmill stress tests to the diagnostic tests offered, along with vascular studies. Each of these tests may be ordered through your cardiologist and/or primary care provider and scheduled at GCMH. Cardiac rehabilitation Following a cardiac event such as a heart attack, stent placement or heart surgery, rehabilitation plays a crucial role in recovery and long-term well-being. Our cardiac rehabilitation program offers supervised exercise sessions and support to help patients regain strength, improve cardiovascular fitness and foster a healthy lifestyle post-treatment.
