Touro UniversityNevada graduate travels to Washington, D.C. to lobby for additional funding for adolescent sudden cardiac arrest research
Touro University Nevada (TUN) graduate and assistant professor, Scott Lamprecht, DNP, RN, is traveling to Washington , D.C. to meet with Senator Harry Reid and other legislators for additional funding through the American Heart Association for adolescent sudden cardiac arrest research.

With additional funding, research about adolescent sudden cardiac arrest can be expanded.Additional research can be used to educate health care providers to screen for risk of sudden cardiac death in adolescents during sports physicals.
