Free Teen Heart Screen

Posted Date: 01/30/26 (03:00 PM)


February is National Heart Month, and we’re proud to share an exciting event for our employees and our community.

Flowers Hospital is joining Heart for Athletes to host a Free Teen Heart Screen on Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., here at Flowers in the Outpatient Registration area.

This event is open to students ages 13–18 and includes:

  • A free, non-invasive electrocardiogram (ECG) interpreted by physicians on the Heart for Athletes Medical Advisory Team who are experienced in youth heart screening
  • Hands-only CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) education
  • Information on warning signs, family heart history, and risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)

Sudden cardiac arrest claims the lives of approximately 23,000 children and young adults each year, often without warning. While teens involved in athletics and other high-intensity activities are encouraged to attend, we welcome all teens because underlying heart conditions can affect anyone—making early detection critical.

Parents or guardians are encouraged to accompany their student during the screening. Screenings are limited to the first 250 participants, and advance registration is required.

Date: Saturday, February 21, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Location: Flowers Hospital (check-in at Outpatient Registration)
