🏈 Before the first whistle blows, make sure your student athlete is ready for the season ahead. 🏀⚽

Florida’s new Second Chance Act requires an EKG screening for all first-time high school athletes before they can compete. We're helping families check that box with screening appointments available at select BayCare Medical Group cardiology locations across West Central Florida.

What sets BayCare apart? Every screening is reviewed by our pediatric cardiology experts, giving families access to specialists who can answer questions, explain results and guide next steps if additional evaluation is recommended.

Give your athlete a strong start to the season — and extra peace of mind for the whole family.

📞 Call (877) 537-4787 to schedule an appointment. Learn more:

BayCare offers EKG screenings for high school athletes to help detect hidden heart conditions. Find locations, scheduling info, and results details today.
