Boundary Community Hospital is offering free
sports physical for student athletes Tuesday,
August 6.
Save the date!
Each year physicals are required for students
who are entering grades 7, 9, 11, and are
participating in any sports including
cheerleading and dance. A physical is also
required of those new to the sports programs,
which includes students in grades 8, 10, and 12
who did not have a physical last year.
The physical must occur before the first
practice starts.
Boundary Community Hospital’s medical staff and
hospital employees are volunteering their time
so students participating in sports receive a
free physical.
This is a one-night only event and students are
encouraged to attend. The Sports Clinic is
between the hours of 5 to 7 p.m.
Students will travel through six testing
stations and finish with a quick visit with the
doctor. The exam team provides privacy, even
with the steady stream of students. The visit
with the doctor is behind closed doors and the
weight scales are in a secluded place.
The sports physical clinic is in the Outpatient
Clinic area of Boundary Community Hospital. Come
in “the back way” to the hospital and enter
through the double doors.
A consent form is necessary with a parent, or
guardian signature, as well as the student’s
signature for approval and permission. Coaches
have the form.
Parents and/or guardians must be present with
the student for registration at the Sports
Clinic.
If you have a question, please call Bonners
Ferry High School, (208) 267-3149 or Marcia
Morman, Boundary Community Relations
Coordinator, (208) 267-6912. |
