About this event
A cardiac arrest can happen quickly and without warning and it’s not just older adults. In fact, it is reported that a young competitive athlete dies suddenly every three days in the United States. And for young athletes the risk is twice that of non-athletes.
A simple, non-invasive test called an EKG can help to identify potential life-threatening conditions. This free screening event is open to middle and high school age athletes in all disciplines.
All athletes under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Preliminary results will be made available to participants and parents on the day of the event.
This event is by appointment only. Register today.
