The USC Verdugo Hills Women’s Council recently presented a check for $20,000 to fund USC-VHH’s Interventional Radiology and Cardiac Catheterization Lab at a hospital board meeting.
These state-of-the art interventional radiology and cardiac catheterization laboratories offer the best-in-kind cardiology care in the community.
The Women’s Council was founded after the hospital opened its doors in 1972. Since that time, this dedicated group of women raised an excess of $3 million to fund hospital programs, services and equipment.
In recent years, the Women’s Council supported the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which was dedicated in 2021. That NICU has seen a positive effect, with the census of incoming maternity patients increasing.
The Women’s Council plans to continue fundraising and will be dedicating their efforts to support nursing education in the future.
