Celebrating with Heart
On Feb. 9 at the Elkhart Rotary Club, Elkhart Mayor Dick Moore and Elkhart General Hospital Foundation Chairman Art Decio surprised Elkhart General President Greg Losasso with a proclamation declaring the week of February 8 as “Elkhart General’s Cardiac Care Week.” The proclamation noted the Cardiac Care Center’s 15th anniversary as well as Elkhart General’s long history of heart disease prevention and services, including the hospital’s first electrocardiogram in 1942.
