Heart Screens for Student Athletes

  For the 3rd year Dr. Stephen Kelly, of the Southeastern Cardiovascular Clinic, and his wife Danielle Kelly will be on CHS's campus along with office staff and personnel from East Baton Rouge EMS offering heart screens to student athletes.  They will be conducting electrocardiograms (EKG) and  echo-cardiograms (Echo).  CHS is asking for a $20 cash donation that will be split with Jump Start Your Heart.  This is a great opportunity for the young students in our community.  These tests could easily cost close to $1,000 in the doctor's office, but with this program, not only are the tests next to free; the doctor comes to you.  Dr. Kelly will be on hand to read the results of the tests and speak to parents and athletes that may have questions.  Due to some restrictions, these tests are only available to current CHS student athletes and incoming 9th grade student athletes. 

   The screenings will begin at 4pm in the Athletic Training room at Central High School on April 30th.  Permission forms are available in the front offices of your students' schools.  Forms can also be obtained on site at the screenings.  Screenings will be done on a first-come-first-serve basis.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact Bryan Hutson at 262-2777.

Thank you for your support.
