Goodison To Host Healthy Hearts Event

Sunday 23 July will see Goodison Park play host to a free heart screening event, delivered by Cardiac Risk in the Young and Everton in the Community.

Taking place in the 1878 Lounge from 9am until 4pm, the free-to-attend event is the second ‘Healthy Hearts’ session made possible thanks to funding from leading health cash plan provider Medicash.

Launched in September 2016, Healthy Hearts is a three-year programme aimed at reducing the number of young people dying from sudden cardiac arrest on Merseyside.

Every week in the UK, at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions.
