To bring awareness of sudden cardiac arrest to the local community, free youth heart screenings are being offered to people between the ages of 12-25 on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Albert G. Prodell Middle School in Shoreham. The screenings are coordinated by Shoreham-Wading River High School senior Jordan McClintock as part of her efforts to earn the Girls Scouts Gold Award.

Sudden cardiac arrest is not just an adulthood issue; thousands of teens die every year because of it. AED and CPR education will also be available at the event. For more information or to register, visit:
