Queens County residents will be able to stay closer to home for vital testing, thanks to an investment by the Queens General Hospital Foundation.
The foundation recently invested almost $400,000 to install a new echocardiogram and cardiopulmonary exercise testing machine at Queens General in Liverpool.
Al Doucet, a retired physician who is chairman of the Hospital Foundation, said that means that cardiologists and internal medicine specialists can now see more people in their home community.
It’s the latest in a series of investments made by the volunteer-run foundation in projects big and small. The foundation is also contributing toward a new MRI facility being built in Bridgewater. And it has plans for a new CT scanner at Queens General in Liverpool.
