Third Annual VIA Heart Screening Coming Back to FCUSD
|
The District is hosting VIA Heart Project again, offering our third heart screening event for 500 teens and young adults, ages 12-25.
The screening will take place at Cordova High on Sunday, February 24, 2019, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Registration is limited to 500 students and will close on Feb. 22. You can register your child
here.
Our community volunteers are full, but we are still in need of medical volunteers. You can register
here.
Why participate? It's estimated 1 in 500 school-aged children suffer an undiagnosed heart defect, which can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and death. A typical annual physical does not screen for advanced heart abnormalities.
This screening does not take the place of your annual or pre-participation sports physical.
