Dear Parent/Guardian:

Concordia High School is taking an extra step to protect your child by providing cardiovascular testing for students aged 12-25 on school grounds on 10/14/2017.

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 no warning signs or symptoms leading up to a cardiac arrest.

Wimbledon Athletics will perform EKGs and echocardiograms to detect heart conditions that can put your child at risk and vascular ultrasounds to identify vascular conditions common to athletes (such as blood clots). All tests are non-invasive, and the privacy of your child is maintained. 

To learn more and register for the testing, please visit: REGISTRATION LINK

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, if applicable. There are a number of circumstances that would waive any balance due for this testing (including saving for college). Click here for the waiver. Please be aware that if you have an HSA, FSA, or HRA account, funds may automatically be deducted if a balance is due. We encourage you to call us at (855) 200-8262 to verify your benefits or to answer any questions about the billing process. 

If you would like to reserve an appointment time for your child, please visit: SCHEDULING PORTAL LINK

Together with Concordia High School, we look forward to contributing to the health and safety of your athlete! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
