Date/Time
Date(s) - July 12, 2025
10:30 am - 10:45 am
Morris Hospital is offering its Rhythm of Our Youth cardiac screening on this specially scheduled date outside the school year in order to identify high school students who have an undiagnosed cardiac abnormality that could result in sudden cardiac death. The free screening involves an electrocardiogram, a non-invasive, painless test that measures the electrical activity of the heart and detects certain heart abnormalities that can lead to sudden cardiac death. Based on results of the screenings, about 3 percent of students are referred to their physician for additional follow-up. Typically, less than 1 percent are found to have a medical problem that requires cardiac intervention.
This screening date is for students who are entering their freshmen, sophomore, junior or senior year of high school during the 2025/2026 school year or a 2025 high school graduate. To reserve a screening time for your student, please complete the registration form. Please note, a consent for screening form must also be completed for each child being screened prior to their scheduled time. We are unable to proceed with the screening without a consent form completed.
