🫀 What’s an Echocardiogram – and Do You Need One? 🫀
An echocardiogram (echo) is a simple, non-invasive ultrasound that shows the structure of your heart, and how it's beating and pumping blood. It helps detect heart conditions early – before symptoms get serious.

📋 See the image for common reasons your doctor may recommend an echo.
If you’ve experienced chest pain, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, or irregular heartbeats – it might be time to check in on your heart health.

✅ Quick
✅ Painless
✅ Done right here at Lawrence County Hospital

📞 Call us today if you have any questions & ask your provider if it’s right for you! (601) 587-1290

February is Heart Month, a time to show your heart a little extra care ❤️

Small, steady habits make a big difference. Staying active most days of the week and choosing foods that support heart health. Manage stress, get quality sleep, and keep up with regular checkups.

This month and all year long, take a moment to listen to your heart and care for it in ways that help you live well.
