In April 2006 we had our second "How to Run a Heart Screening Event in Your Community" training event.
Sharon Schmidt, CO, Debra Masterson, NJ, Kathleen Gag, NJ, Micheal Mason, AZ, Allen Bates, KS, Shari Kramer, CA and Rachel
Moyer, PA were all learning about the community cardiac screening program through ABF. We were able to train people
at the Estrella Foothills High School heart screening event from these 6 states. Plus, we are able to offer our
materials to many more in Delaware, California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Washington.
As a result of our training, The Robie Foundation hosted their first FREE cardiac screening, October 20 - 21st in Sparta,
NJ. Over 500 young people were screened that weekend. Congratulations Debra Masterson & Kathleen Gag!
We have can share our process and program with your group.
