Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) September 04, 2014
The National Athletic Trainer’s Association projects that nearly half of the 100 estimated student-athlete deaths that occur each year can be attributed to sudden cardiac arrests (pdf). To help combat and prevent Las Vegas Valley student-athletes from experiencing a life-threatening injury, the LV Sportz Foundation, in conjunction with First Person Care Clinic and other local community organizations and medical professionals, is hosting an affordable and accessible pre-participation sports physicals and heart screening program event. Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys is an official sponsor of the Saturday, September 6, event that will run from 10 am to 3 pm at Cashman Convention Center.
“Glen Lerner Injury Attorneys is pleased to give back for the second year in a row and join LV Sportz Foundation, First Person Care Clinic and other local community organizations and medical professionals in supporting this free sports physicals and heart screenings program event to help protect Las Vegas Valley student-athletes,” said Attorney Glen Lerner.
Pre-participation physical exams (PPE) are more advanced than standard physicals as they screen the whole body. They are used to identify congenital heart defects and other major health issues that can trigger a sudden cardiac arrest or other serious medical event through strenuous exercise or competitive sports. Space is limited to the one-day event; registration for the event is currently full. To sign-up for the waitlist and be notified when a spot opens, please visit http://www.lvsportz.com.
