Protect Young Hearts: Mandatory EKGs in Florida! β€οΈπͺ
Florida leads the way with the Second Chance Act!
Starting July 1, 2026, all new high school athletes must complete an EKG screening before they can participate in sports.
This groundbreaking law is a response to the tragic death of Chance Gainer, highlighting the importance of early detection for hidden heart conditions.
The screening process is quick, painless, and only takes about five minutes to perform!
Pediatric cardiologists will review all tests to ensure accuracy and catch any dangerous heart rhythms.
Survivors like Riley Broadhurst advocate for this law due to their own near-misses with cardiac events.
Community outreach initiatives provide low-cost screening events, expanding heart health beyond just sports!
Join us in supporting this crucial step towards safer sports!
