The Student Heart Check Program, Children’s Miracle Network initiative of Beaumont Children’s, accepted Nov. 30 a donation of $5,000 from the Northville Township Firefighters Charity Fund. The donation will support the Student Heart Check program that has screened almost 14,000 students since it began in 2007.
In June 2016, Beaumont’s team of physicians and cardiology assistants screened 376 students at Northville High School. The free student heart screening included a medical history, blood pressure check, an electrocardiogram or ECG and a “quick-look” echocardiogram, an ultrasound image of the heart. The team was also joined by Northville Township firefighters to provide the students, parents and siblings with training on hands-only CPR.
