Heart Health in Focus: Bixby Students Lead the Way with Preventative Screenings

At ATS, our dedication to the health and well-being of children and families across the states where we operate is unwavering. Our My-HeartCheck® program stands as a testament to this ongoing commitment. Through collaborative efforts with nonprofit organizations, we’ve significantly impacted over 12,000 children’s lives by providing sustainable, measurable heart assessment programs and contributing to vital research to validate outcomes.

This is not just a numerical achievement; it represents the countless smiles, dreams, and futures safeguarded. As we continue this journey, our vision is to expand our reach and make a difference in even more lives, ensuring that every child can grow up knowing their heart health is protected and their future is secure.

Preventative Heart Screenings at Bixby High School

A recent event at Bixby High School exemplified our mission in action. Students and their families gathered on a Saturday afternoon for preventative heart screenings, a critical component of My-HeartCheck®.

Early Detection Through EKGs and Ultrasounds

Those who registered for the event were offered EKGs and ultrasounds to assess their heart functioning. These screenings are pivotal in identifying potential cardiac conditions that might otherwise remain undetected.

A Parent’s Peace of Mind

For parents, this opportunity to have their children screened for heart conditions is invaluable. Knowing that their children’s heart health is being proactively addressed brings peace and security. Preventative screenings have the potential to uncover hidden conditions, ensuring early intervention and treatment when necessary.

Our Relationship with My HeartCheck

The Strive for Life Foundation exists to help protect children from undiagnosed heart conditions by expanding access to professional heart screenings, especially in high-need  communities.

  • My HeartCheck provides the clinically based heart screening services for youth, including EKGs and echocardiograms with medical review by pediatric cardiologists.

  • Strive for Life Foundation raises charitable funds to help ensure that cost is not a barrier for families or communities in need.

The two organizations are separate and independently governed, with distinct roles:

  • My HeartCheck operates as a medical services provider.

  • Strive for Life Foundation determines how and where charitable funds are used to support screenings.

Charitable contributions to Strive for Life Foundation may be used to:

  • Provide financial assistance to qualifying families through an application-based aid program

  • Support fully funded heart screening events in high-need communities.

When Strive for Life Foundation supports screenings, it does so under a written service agreement at fair market value, just as it would with any qualified provider. This structure ensures transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of donor funds.

This approach allows us to:

  • Deliver high-quality medical screenings efficiently

  • Target charitable dollars to families and communities with the greatest need

  • Maintain clear accountability and separation between charitable fundraising and medical service delivery

Our focus is simple: helping more children receive life-saving heart screenings.
