Gov. Evers to Announce Plan to Build Upon "Kai 11" Bill, Invest in EKG Screening Pilot to Protect Student-Athlete Health
Statement
Issues: K-12 Education Health and Health Care
"As a former educator and the father and grandfather of kids involved in student athletics, I know that every parent or adult whose kids participate in these activities wants every kid to be safe when they do. Student athletics play a valuable role in kids' health, wellness, social connections, and academic success, but hidden heart conditions like Kai's present a scary risk," said Gov. Evers. "The "Kai 11' bill created a pathway for us to raise awareness of this important issue, but we have to continue building upon that important work so parents can make the best decisions for their kids' health. The "Kai 11' bill is saving lives, and I believe that this initiative will, too."
