Northville Township Firefighters team up with Beaumont

On Wednesday, November 30, the Student Heart Check Program, Children’s Miracle Network initiative of Beaumont Children’s, accepted a donation of $5,000 from the Northville Township Firefighters Charity Fund. The donation will support the Student Heart Check program that has screened almost 14,000 students since its operation began in 2007.

In June of 2016, Beaumont’s team of physicians and cardiology assistants screened 376 students at Northville High School. The free student heart screening included a medical history, blood pressure check, an electrocardiogram or ECG, and a “quick-look” echocardiogram, an ultrasound image of the heart. The team was also joined by the Northville Township Firefighters to provide the students, parents and siblings with training on hands only CPR.
