Sadly, we have all heard stories and read articles about teens, seemingly in peak athletic condition, who suddenly and shockingly have died during sports activities.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) claims the lives of 30 young adults every week in the United States. One-third of these deaths may have been prevented through a simple heart screening.
Swedishamerican Holistic Health Services and Midwest Heart offer free electrocardiogram (EKG) screens to high school students in Winnebago and Boone County.
The scheduled dates above are for screenings at the Heart Hospital at SwedishAmerican, Charles & 10th Streets in Rockford.
Screenings take approximately 15 minues. To make an appointment at the Heart Hospital, please call Ann Sammons at (815) 961-2030 X 2894.
Screenings are also available by appointment anytime at SwedishAmerican Medical Center/Belvidere, 1625 South State Street in Belvidere. Call (815) 961-2030 X 2894 to make an appointment.
