What is a Play for Patrick Heart Screen?

The Play for Patrick Heart Screenings provide youth with non-invasive tests to identify heart conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed. Screenings include:

  • Height/Weight
  • Blood Pressure
  • EKG
  • Echocardiogram
  • CPR Training (hands only)
  • AED Training

All screenings are reviewed by volunteer medical professionals, and results are provided to families with guidance for follow-up care if needed.
