Free Heart Screening for Youth

Young athletes push limits. We make sure they can do it safely.

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.
Many of these kids could’ve been saved with a simple ECG. And athletes are at 3x higher risk.
That's why The Gershfeld & Shakirov Foundation for Youth Development is excited to partner with Who We Play For to provide life-saving electrocardiograms (ECGs) to our youth for FREE.
