Championship Hearts Foundation, Free Screenings

July 26, 2010

On behalf of Championship Hearts Foundation we would like to forward on their July/August Press Release:

Austin, Texas – As a community service, Championship Hearts Foundation, a Texas nonprofit agency, will offer free heart screenings for student athletes, ages 14-18, on Saturday, July 31st, 2010 and Saturday, August 28th at the Heart Hospital of Austin. Active students who engage in athletics, cheerleading, marching band, drill team, or other strenuous sports usually obtain physical examinations from their family doctor prior to participating in those activities, and many take the extra step of getting their heart screened.

This free event is made possible by the complementary use of facilities at Heart Hospital of Austin and the volunteer cardiologists from Children’s Cardiology Associates.

Over 10,000 students have been screened by Championship Hearts during the last ten years, with approximately 1% of those having been referred for further cardiac testing.

There is no charge for the screening, however, a (tax deductible) contribution of $25.00 is appreciated to help defray some of the costs and also to support the work of the Foundation.

Saturday, July 31st, 2010 (8:00am-12:00 noon)

Saturday, August 28th, 2010 (8:00am-12:00 noon)

Heart Hospital of Austin
