Dear Parent/Guardian:

DRUID HILLS HIGH SCHOOL is taking the important step to protect your child by providing cardiovascular testing for students aged 12-25 on school grounds on 4/26/2017.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is caused by an abnormality in the heart's electrical system or structure that abruptly stops the heartbeat. It is the leading cause of death on school campuses. According to the American Heart Association, every 3 days a young athlete dies from Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the US. In 80% of the cases, there are absolutely no warning signs or symptoms leading up to a cardiac arrest.

To be proactive about your child's health, Wimbledon Athletics will be performing EKGs and echocardiograms to detect heart conditions that can put your child at risk and vascular ultrasound to identify vascular conditions common to athletes (such as blood clots). This preventative testing will identify life-threatening conditions as well as those that can affect an athlete's well-being down the road.

There are no upfront costs for this testing. Wimbledon Health Partners will bill your health insurance, accepting what your carrier deems usual and customary. As required by law, WHP will bill for any deductible or co-insurance owed. WHP's priority is the health and safety of your child, not causing you financial harm. Please call us at (855) 200-8262 to verify your health benefits and to find out how you might qualify to receive testing at little to no cost.
