EVERYDAY I WORRY

My HeartCheck is a medical services organization that provides professional youth heart screenings, including EKGs and echocardiograms.

To help ensure that cost is not a barrier to screening, My HeartCheck works with multiple independent nonprofit organizations that provide charitable support for families and communities in need. These partners include Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation, among others.

My HeartCheck automatically applies the first $40 of financial assistance toward every qualifying financial aid screening. When a parent requests financial assistance, the pricing is adjusted immediately using a pre-established aid formula. Additional assistance beyond the first $40 is supported through our charitable partners—including Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation—subject to available funding.

In addition to individual financial assistance, My HeartCheck works with multiple nonprofit organizations to support fully funded heart screening events in underserved or high-risk communities. These events are designed to expand access to screenings for children who might otherwise go untested.

My HeartCheck provides the clinical screening services for all screenings and events at standard, fair-market rates. While My HeartCheck and its nonprofit partners are separate organizations with distinct roles, we share a common goal: protecting children by identifying hidden heart conditions early.

Cancellation policy: A full refund for cancellations will be honored if written notice is received at least 5 days prior to your scheduled event. Requests must be sent to info@myheartcheck.org. A full refund, minus a $25.00 processing fee, will be honored for any cancellation requests received less than 5 days prior to your scheduled event. Within 48 hours of your appointment date, we are unable to honor appointment changes or cancellations. No refunds will be provided for missed appointments. ATS reserves the right to cancel a screening event in the unlikely event of insufficient enrolment or other unforeseen circumstances. If an event is canceled or postponed, ATS will provide full refunds for registration fees but cannot be held responsible for other costs or expenses.
