Recent deaths of Texas high school football players have highlighted the risk of hidden heart conditions in teens. A nonprofit organization is urging parents to consider free heart screenings for their teenagers. The organization, founded after the sudden death of an 18-year-old in 2008, has spent 15 years providing these screenings.
The nonprofit was established by the family of the deceased teen, who had no known heart condition and died suddenly. His family had no warning, which they describe as the scariest part of the situation.
Further details about the nonprofit and its efforts to provide free heart screenings are available from the organization, which has been working to raise awareness about the importance of these screenings for teens.
