FREE HEART SCREENING
A free heart screening event from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Saturday, May 11, at UW-La Crosse, aims to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in youth athletes. All community members ages 10-25 are invited to sign up to receive a free electrocardiogram, or EKG, at UW-La Crosse’s Mitchell Hall Fieldhouse. Up to 250 people will be screened during the event on a first-come, first-served basis. Register ahead of time to secure a spot at www.whoweplayfor.org/wisconsin-la-crosse. Walk-ins will be allowed if space is available.
The screening, hosted by UW-L's Exercise and Sport Science Department, is made possible through a $5,000 grant from Mayo Clinic Health System. Screening equipment and professional cardiologist review of the EKGs are provided by Whom We Play For.
