The HH Heart Center has a brand-new, state-of-the-art CT scanner, made possible by the generous Huntsville Hospital Foundation. This machine can create detailed pictures of a patient's heart, allowing cardiologists to identify stenosis at a mere 0.2mm, which is a vast improvement over older scanners.

This investment is already making a huge difference, slashing diagnostic wait times from months to weeks and putting us at the forefront of coronary CT imaging nationwide! ❤️🏥 A massive thank you to the 2023 Huntsville Classic sponsors and donors for making this a reality.
