INDIANAPOLIS
– Preparation and safety are paramount before young athletes take to playing fields.
That’s why
Franciscan St. Francis Health Sports Medicine is offering physicals to students at
a special clinic Saturday, July 19. The event, which is from 9 a.m. to noon, is
located at the 5255
Building at the hospital’s Indianapolis
campus (8111 S. Emerson Ave.).
The
sports physical pays special attention to the cardiopulmonary and
musculoskeletal systems. This in-depth evaluation identifies children who are
at risk of developing an illness or injury during sports activities.
Physical
exams not only prepare students to participate in sports but also provide
parents valuable information about their child’s health. The process addresses
the student’s full medical history, including immunizations.
Appointments
are required and the fee is $15 (cash or check only) per student. To register,
contact Karen Boggs at 317-781-133, option 1.
