Dr. Jeff Ratushny was the lucky recepient of the $10,000 donation at last night’s Charm Diamond Women’s Giving Circle.
His handheld V-Scan Ultrasound was chosen by guests of the event as the most needed for South Shore residents.
He says the devide will allow them to look inside the body at the heart and see it in real-time.
“With that we will be able to more accurately and more quickly make diagnoses,” he said.
“Which will lead to earlier treatment and also to better outcomes.”
He also says the devide is something to improve quality of health care.
“As soon as we receive this it will go into service immediately, and something we will use daily,” he said.
Multiple times, he added.
Ratushny was one of four to give a proposal for the money.
The Event was held in partnership with the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore.
