FREE Carver Cardiac Screening

May 9, 2025 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. or
May 10, 2025 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Carver Middle High School – Middle School Gymnasium

Carver Middle High School and Hanson Fire Department, in partnership with Carver EMS and the organization Who We Play For, is offering freecardiac screenings to the youth in our community an important health initiative available to all Carver Middle High School students and anyone ages 10-22.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death among young athletes, often due to undiagnosed heart conditions. These screenings are designed to detect potential heart issues early, ensuring the safety and well-being of our students.

Why Participate?

• Early Detection: An electrocardiogram (ECG) can identify up to 95% of conditions that may lead to SCA, whereas standard physical exams detect only about 1%.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your child’s heart health can provide reassurance for families and allow students to engage confidently in physical activities.
• What SCA looks like: We encourage you to watch this short video.

Registration:
To register your child for the free screening, please visit the website at https://www.whoweplayfor.org/massachusetts-plymouth. We strongly encourage all parents to take advantage of this valuable opportunity.  If you have questions or concerns please reach out to Charley Barends, Hanson Fire Deputy Fire Chief at Cbarends@Hanson-Ma.gov
