The Women’s Auxiliary to Chester County Hospital is proud to begin our next 125 years of service with a $1.25 Million pledge to the Heart and Vascular Program to purchase leading edge electrophysiology technology. Our “Heart to Heart Pledge” is designed to touch the lives of patients throughout this county by restoring quality of life and preventing stroke through the advanced treatment of atrial fibrillation. From our heart to yours, this gift of a suite of imaging and operative equipment is made through the dedication, creativity and tireless efforts of our 375+ members who love our hospital and the community it serves.
