What is the mission of Heart of Michael?
Our mission is to ensure that every child in the world has access to preventative heart screenings, allowing them to live a full lifespan and reach their full potential.
Why are preventative heart screenings important for children?
Preventative heart screenings help identify potential heart issues before they lead to serious health problems, such as Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Early detection can save lives and promote long-term health.
How does Heart of Michael partner with schools and organizations?
We collaborate with schools and community organizations to implement preventative heart screenings, incorporating electrocardiograms as part of pre-participation physicals for sports and other activities.
What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest, and how can it be prevented?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a critical condition where the heart suddenly stops beating. Many cases can be prevented through early detection of heart conditions via screenings, education, and timely medical intervention.
