Young Hearts for Life ECG Screening

  • Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Young Hearts For Life ECG screening at NCHS!

    There are 3 different volunteer opportunities for Thursday, October 19th: morning, afternoon or all day! Please note that all volunteers are required to attend a volunteer training program on Wednesday, October 18th.

    We would not be able to offer this wonderful opportunity to the students without the help from volunteers like you.  To screen over 2,000 students, it takes approximately 120 half-day volunteers per day or a mix of MANY full-day and half-day volunteers.  For those of you not familiar with this program, you will be helping in directing students, applying leads and running the ECG test.  No worries - training is provided and there are nurses and physicians to assist if needed.  

    Naperville Central is partnering with the Young Hearts for Life®(YH4L) Cardiac Screening Program, a not for profit organization affiliated with Advocate Charitable Foundation to offer free electrocardiograms (ECGs) to our students.  A special thanks to Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare who is providing the funding for the event!

    Thank you for taking time to help us screen our students! 

    If you have any questions about the program or volunteering, please let me know. 

    Thanks,

    Kathy Altosino
