COVID-19 Response
|
With schools closed for the foreseeable future and social distancing in place, all large school heart screenings are on hold as well. The good news is that our Board and Staff are committed to our mission and we will be able to maintain course through this crisis.
We will be here, ready to work with our school partners again, as soon as this crisis passes. Because kids still have undiscovered heart conditions. Because those diagnosed with COVID-19 will need to monitor their hearts annually from now on. |
Heart screening may not be the highest priority right now, but we'll be there the very moment we're able.
As we all work through a COVID-19 world here in Arizona and across the world, the Anthony Bates Foundation is committed to the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and the people we serve through education and heart screening. If you have any questions about our commitment to health and safety, please let us know: info@anthonybates.org |

Who Does HCM Affect?HCM crosses ALL age groups, ethnicities and genders. Young athletes represent only 15% of fatalities caused by HCM. It is the added physical exertion of the heart during exercise and the cool down phase of the heart that will cause a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
