HeartScreen America Launches Life-Saving Heart Screening Programs in Massachusetts

HYANNIS, MA – 10 Nov 2006: HeartScreen America launched its Massachusetts heart screening initiative at the Annual Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents and Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASS/MASC) Joint Conference held in Hyannis, MA from November 8-10, 2006.

The statewide program was kicked off at the conference, which was attended by almost 500 school superintendents and school committee members from across Massachusetts. President Bert Vining met individually with MASS/MASC members at the HeartScreen America booth exhibit where he discussed HeartScreen America’s mission, programs, and call to action. Superintendents and School Committee members were also able to ask questions and to schedule screenings in their communities.

The focus of HeartScreen America’s booth exhibition was to educate and increase Superintendents’ and School Committee members’ awareness of sudden cardiac arrest, especially in young students and athletes. Mr. Vining explained that becoming aware of risk factors, implementing preventive screening, and creating emergency action plans can help detect heart abnormalities and minimize the risk of tragic death.

HeartScreen America offers heart screening services to help identify underlying heart defects to minimize sudden cardiac arrest and save lives. HeartScreen America uses digital interpretive electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) screening in a mobile format to visit schools, community centers, corporations, and other large populations.
