San Mateo Union High School District Heart Screening Volunteer Sign up

On Saturday, April 26, 2025, Peninsula Health Care District in collaboration with Kyle J. Taylor Foundation, and San Mateo Union High School District will be presenting a Free Heart Screening Event open to youth residents ages 12 to 25.
Heart Screenings are designed to detect undiagnosed heart defects that can lead tosudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and death. It is estimated that 1 in 300 youth suffer fromthese life-threatening defects and most will go undiagnosed until they lead to SCA
and/or death. The current standard approach to health history and annual physicalexaminations misses about 90% of at-risk youth because most conditions that can leadto SCA are NOT detectable with a stethoscope. SCA is also the leading cause of death
among school athletes.

If you have questions or need to make changes or cancellations please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinators at volunteers@kylejtaylor.org
