Major appeal - Cardiac Centre expansion
Heart disease is the leading cause of hospitalisation in Victoria, and thanks to your support more people now have a second chance at returning to a healthy life.
Work has officially concluded on The Alfred's Cardiac Centre expansion. Thanks to the generosity of Alfred donors, the hospital has dramatically increased our capacity to treat cardiac patients in our Cardiac Catheter labs.
Your support helped double the size of our Cardiac Day Procedure Unit, providing more beds and more state-of-the-art medical equipment.
Now, a greater number of patients have access to the life-saving procedures performed in the Catheter labs - procedures such as stents, pacemaker insertions and event heart-valve replacements.
On behalf of all the patients who will receive life-saving surgery in our expanded Cardiac Centre, thank you for your generous contribution to this project.
