The donation was followed by chairman of Framsýn Aðalsteinn Árni Baldursson, who presented the gift at a ceremony on September 17th. The equipment consists of a full-fledged heart microscope, a walk-board, a shower chair-set mattress, a chair-vogar, an ear-scan, a pregnancy monitor, a D-dimer instrument and a fluid pump. The support of associations is important to the institution and the most important is the purchase of a heart microscope which allows HSN to have a part-time cardiologist at the institution. Cardiologist Sigurður Hjörtur Kristjánsson began working at HSN Húsavík in early 2023.
