The Valencia High School Medical Science Academy has once again partnered with the Saving Hearts Foundation to host a free heart screening event for all youth ages 12-24 on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Valencia High School gymnasium  

Saving Hearts Foundation is on a mission to prevent sudden cardiac arrest through awareness, education and action. The foundationā€™s primary mission is to provide free preventative heart screenings to youth to test for warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest.  

Preventative heart screenings are not a part of a childā€™s annual physical exams. Saving Hearts fills this void by providing free heart screenings for youths. The screening includes an ECG, and if necessary, an echocardiogram interpreted by a physician with referral to a cardiologist if needed. The screening is completely painless and only takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.  

Founded by three UCLA undergraduates, Saving Hearts is a national nonprofit foundation that strives to protect young individuals from sudden cardiac arrest.  

Students can sign up for a free heart screening at hipaa.jotform.com/222566985284167. Space is limited. This event is open to the public, and screenings are offered to anyone between the ages of 12 and 24.Ā Ā 

The Valencia High School Medical Science Academy is a four-year career technical high school education program that incorporates medical knowledge into general education classes while preparing students for a future career in the medical field. Students from the academy will be participating in the heart screening event.Ā
