Kool FM's Shelly-Ann Hill (right) is delighted to meet Janette Morgan (centre) a patient of the Heart Institute of the Caribbean (HIC) who did an electrocardiogram (ECG) at the HIC's second annual ECG Day on February 14, at its Balmoral Road head office.

The event, which was staged as part of the institute's Heart Month activities offered ECGs for $500 - down from the usual $2,500 - to the nearly 200 people who visited on the day.
