GLers for Patrick!

From August 2015 to April 2022, the Patrick Schoonover Heart Foundation conducted 25 Play for Patrick youth heart screens.  Screened 4,178 kids, found 255 with elevated blood pressure (w/repeated check), 260 with abnormal electrical or structural heart defects, taught 3,733 kids & adults CPR & AED awareness and donated 15 AEDs to area Schools.  #Playwithheart

The Foundation is a 501-c3 and relies on volunteers to run the foundation and provide free heart screens.  Your donations are used to purchase heart related supplies, equipment, AEDs, Insurance and other expenses.
