What your organisation does

The members of the Association work hard to raise funds through various methods to provide essential, and possibly lifesaving equipment for the Cardiac Ward in Craigavon Area Hospital. Over the last 40 years, funds have been used to purchase defibrillators for use in GP surgeries and the wider community (most recently for local groups and

organisations), trackers and cardiocalls, special chairs for the Cardiac ward and cardiology courses for nurses. Another area of work is the funding and support of a Heart to Heart Club. This club runs Cardiac Rehab classes to help cardiac patients resume a normal life after surgery and to encourage and give advice on adopting a healthy lifestyle.
