AdventHealth Manchester is expanding access to specialized heart care with the addition of pediatric echocardiography services, giving families in Eastern Kentucky a local option for advanced, child-focused heart imaging. This service supports our mission to care for the whole person by meeting the unique needs of our youngest patients close to home.
A pediatric echocardiogram is a safe and noninvasive ultrasound that provides clear images of a child’s heart. It plays an important role in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as congenital heart defects, genetic syndromes, Kawasaki disease and other pediatric heart concerns. Offering this service locally reduces travel burdens for families and helps children receive timely, compassionate care in a familiar setting.
Expert interpretation for every child
Every pediatric echocardiogram performed at AdventHealth Manchester is read by board-certified pediatric cardiology specialists. Using advanced imaging technology in an environment designed to help children feel comfortable, our team provides accurate results and guides families with clarity and understanding.
Why this matters
Heart symptoms in children, including murmurs, chest pain, shortness of breath or fainting, should be evaluated quickly. Early detection can lead to faster intervention and stronger long-term outcomes. Pediatric echocardiography provides essential information without radiation exposure, making it a safe and trusted option for children of all ages.

Providers and families may schedule a pediatric echocardiogram by calling Call606-598-5104, Option 1. To learn more, visit AdventHealth Manchester.
