Family Care Center in Concordia Pleased to Offer Free School Sports Physicals to Area Students

The Cloud County Health Center in Concordia once again will offer sports physicals for upcoming seasons, free of charge.

Playing a sport is a great way for kids to get active and stay in shape.  Sports physicals, also called a pre-participation exam, are needed before athletes can begin competing.

Dr. Dorothy Breault with the Family Care Center says the exam will help determine that the athlete is healthy enough to participate and ensure that there are no underlying health issues.

The free sports physicals are being offered June 20th through August 19th by appointment only.

The Cloud County Health Center is offering this service to allow area junior high and senior high school athletes and college students to have easier access to physicals, which are required to participate in practices and games.

To be eligible for participation in interscholastic athletics/spirit groups, the Kansas State High School Activities Association says a student must have on file with the superintendent or principal, a signed physical form.
