Free sports physicals just around the corner |
|
July 24, 2017 |
Do you have students in grades 7, 9, or 11 who
plan to participate in sports, including
cheerleading, in the upcoming school year? Then
according to the Idaho High School Activities
Association, these students will need to have a
physical before the first practice starts.
This also applies to those students that are new
to the sports program who did not have a
physical last year, even if in grades 8, 10 and
12.
Boundary Community Hospital offers a Sports
Physical Clinic annually as a FREE service for
Boundary County students. This year the event
will be held on Tuesday, August 1, from 5 to 7
p.m. in Outpatient Services at the hospital.
Park and enter at Outpatient Services off
Comanche Street and check in at the Coaches’
table. A parent must be present for the clinic.
Students must complete a series of screenings
during the clinic including height, weight,
vision, vital signs, urine test, and an
evaluation for neuromusculoskeletal function
including range of motion, strength, balance and
functional mobility.
Once the screenings are completed, the final
stop at the clinic is a physical exam and review
of the screening results by a physician or nurse
practitioner. The completed forms are reviewed
for completeness and then submitted to the
coaches for inclusion in school records.
So make plans now to take part in the Free
Sports Physical Clinic provided by Boundary
Community Hospital and Boundary Community
Clinics, right here in Bonners Ferry! |
