About this Event
High school athletes are pushed to a much higher level of exertion, putting more stress on the heart. Underlying heart abnormalities can go undetected without the presence of symptoms. A physical exam is not enough — active teenagers appear healthy so reported symptoms may be overlooked by physicians.
Please bring your school physical form – Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center will be there to give a physical for a fee (no appointment necessary for physical). We also kindly ask that visitors must wear a mask for the safety of everyone attending this event. Screenings will be in place at the end.
