Young people with undiagnosed heart defects, especially athletes, are susceptible to sudden cardiac arrest. Often there are no advance signs or symptoms and most routine physical exams will not pick up the defects. An electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) usually is necessary to uncover signs of heart irregularities, something normally not done in “well-child” checks or even some sports physicals. In an effort to protect the hearts of area middle and high school students, Play Smart offers free painless, noninvasive heart-health ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ checks to youth aged 12-18. ​ ​ Play Smart is partnering with Lakeridge High School to offer ALL students 12-18 years old free ​ ​ heart screening. ​ FREE Play Smart –Youth Heart Screenings @ Lakeridge High School: March 14 & 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Must complete 2 heart screenings forms to receive free heart screening. (Attach pdf’s of the two screening forms.) ● Play Smart site: www.playsmartgetscreened.org ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Access video: Go to the Play Smart main page, ​ www.playsmartgetscreened.organd click on the hyperlinked "educational video" in ​ ​ ​ the middle of the page. This educational video takes you through the screening ​ ​ process. http://phsoregon.org/video/?view=926c2c60041d6x480x294 ​ ALL forms must be turned in at the office prior to the screening. ​ _____________________________________________________________________ College and Career Corner Seniors and Juniors College Visits Juniors and seniors are welcome to visit with the college reps from the following colleges.
