Athletic PPEs and ECG are used to help detect possible health problems or risks factors that may result in sudden cardiac deaths or other major health issues.
“The LVSportz Foundation, First Person Care Clinic and Complete Medical Consultants of Nevada have created a great opportunity for parents of student athletes to receive affordable medical sports exams,” said Personal Injury Attorney Glen Lerner, founder of Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys. “We are proud to support the potentially life-saving services these three organizations offer local Las Vegas student athletes.”
