ECHO Charity
ECHO is East Cheshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund, the official charity of East Cheshire NHS Trust. ECHO raises money for not only Macclesfield District General Hospital (MDGH), but also Knutsford Community Hospital, Congleton War Memorial Hospital and all our community services.
Although NHS hospitals are funded by the government, ECHO helps East Cheshire NHS Trust go the extra mile. We aim to provide high quality care and be a brilliant place to work. We achieve this through research, training, enhanced facilities and cutting-edge medical equipment over and above what the NHS funds.
To keep up to date with ECHO follow us on social media @ECHOnhscharity.
