Screening America will be at Parkston School Thursday, May 7th and Thursday, May 14th to offer Sudden Cardiac Death Heart Screenings to students ages 11 and up. Each screening includes a Health History Review, Blood Pressure Check, Complete 12 Lead EKG, Limited Echocardiogram, and a Pediatric Cardiologist Review. The May 7th date is already full, but May 14th is still open for sign up. Students will need to sign up in advance. Each screening is $99, and each additional sibling is $49.50. HOSA Donkey Basketball funds will pay for all high school students who are screened. Depending on how many students sign up, however, HOSA will pay for as many screenings as possible until funds expire, giving precedence by age (oldest to youngest). There is a possibility that more dates will need to be added. If you would like to have your child screened, please have them see Mrs. Bartells for a time in exchange for a Health History questionnaire that must be filled out and brought to the screening. If you have any questions, please contact Carmen Bartells.

More information may also be found at https://screening-america.com/.
