Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Qassim warmly welcomes students and teachers from 40 middle school and 23 elementary schools around Buraidah. The visiting guests were welcomed by PSCCQ Center Director, Dr. Abdulrahman Al Mesned; Media and Public Relations Manager, Ms. Mariam Al Harbi; Deputy Nursing Director, Ms. Lailah Abed Eddin and Patient and Family Educator, Ms. Shaymaa Mahmoud.

The visit was primarily kicked off with a tour around the center's facilities. Ms. Mariam Al Harbi, Ms. Lailah Abed Eddin, and Ms. Shaymaa Mahmoud guided the students in the whole tour. They first visited the Cardiac Cath Laboratory Department wherein Dr. Al Mesned personally gave the visitors an orientation and knowledge on the procedures being performed inside Cath Laboratory. Furthermore, he explains the essential inklings and facts on what a cardiologist does to children born with heart diseases. More importantly, Dr. Al Mesned never failed to advise the young visitors to take good care of their health.

The visitors proceeded to the Cardiac Surgery Department where Dr. Yousry El Moazamy, the Cardiac Surgeon, welcomed them and even gave them a brief overview of how the surgeons perform their tasks. The knowledge they have learned about surgery was fully comprehensible as the students were able to witness the patients who have undergone surgery. The student's visit was sensibly spent by boosting the patient's morale through gift giving and sending wishes for their speedy recovery.

The School's Head, Ms. Maha Al Hadeli, expressed their gratitude to the PSCCQ for giving them the rare chance and opportunity to visit the center and be a part of their aim of instilling the minds of their young students regarding the importance of living and being healthy. She added that the said tour was mainly to familiarize their students with the actual operations inside the hospital. More so, this short visit may serve as an eye opener for the visitors to value their health.
