Why ECGs?
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are important tools for the detection of underlying heart conditions. These screenings are quick and completely non-invasive. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death on college campuses, and ECGs can help detect conditions that could put you at risk. The benefits of ECG screening as preventative care are supported by Dr. Ellen Wald, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at UW Health, and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. Please review the materials below to learn more about our screening process and the support ECGs have received. |

Previous Screening Drives
Our inaugural ECG screening drive took place on April 23, 2022 at Memorial Union. In a matter of only four hours, we were able to screen over 150 students, faculty, and community members. Of these screenings, less than one percent produced abnormal results. We also received nightly news coverage from Channel 3000. Thank you to Brittany Derynda, Jessica Miller, Dr. Azita Hamedani, Who We Play For, and our entire panel of physicians that made this event possible!
