McGehee Hospital currently schedules three Little Rock Cardiologists in McGehee for an Outpatient Cardiac Clinic three times monthly for your clinical needs. Combined, they serve more than 350 Patients per month. To further meet our patient needs, McGehee Hospital held a fundraiser to purchase a Digital Holter Monitor System that delivers high quality ECG. The Holter Monitor System is used to monitor the heart electrical activity up to 48 hours to assist the Cardiologists in diagnosing abnormal heart rhythms.
Respiratory Therapy is also available on an outpatient basis. These procedures are ordered by a physician and then completed/initiated by a Registered Respiratory Therapist or Certified Respiratory Therapist.
