Screens for Teens at College of Lake County
The Max Schewitz Foundation kicks off its sixth year of Screens for Teens, an EKG-based cardiac screening program on Sept. 11, 2013 at College of Lake County. Students receive a free EKG and some also receive a free echocardiogram. The Foundation will offer heart checks to students at seven high schools and the College of Lake County this fall, with the potential of reaching over 14,000 students before Thanksgiving. The program’s mission is to identify students who are at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) before they are stricken so they can obtain treatment.
Online registration is now open for our fall test schools. We urge parents to visit www.ekgyourteen.org to register their children for this painless, quick, and non-invasive test.
