Everton in the Community will be hosting a life-saving heart screening event on Saturday 20 October at The People’s Hub on Spellow Lane, from 9.30am–4pm.
Funding provided from Medicash enables the Club’s official charity to work in partnership with the Vital Signs Foundation (VSF), to deliver free sudden cardiac arrest screening for young people aged 15-35.
Every week in the UK, 12 young people thought to be healthy die of sudden cardiac arrest. However, attending a heart screening event to undertake a simple, non-invasive 10-minute test can identify a young person who might be at risk.
More than 100 people attended last year’s heart screening event where 13 people were identified as potentially having conditions that can be linked to Sudden Cardiac Death.
