Clinton School District is again partnering with the organization Who We Play For (WWPF), to offer EKG screenings to students at CHS
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death on school campuses – more than any form of cancer, concussion or illness combined. Thousands of seemingly healthy kids die every year due to detectable heart conditions.
Why take advantage of this electrocardiogram (ECG) heart screening?
● The standard physical is statistically proven to be less than 4% effective at detecting any heart conditions, adding an ECG improves those odds to 80-95%.
● ECG screening saves lives.
● ECG screening is non-invasive, painless and takes about 5 minutes.
● Each ECG will be interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist or cardiologist specifically trained for the heart of an athlete. Results will be returned via email within one week of the screening.
● An ECG typically costs around $150.
We are offering this screening for $20 per student and grants are available to assist those in need. Please click on the flyer's QR code to register your student.
