Catalyst Medical Group is holding a free sports physical event for local student-athletes.
The event will be held on May 22 from 5 to 7 p.m., and it is open to all student-athletes. Additionally, well-child checks will also be available from Catalyst Medical Group’s pediatricians, adding the benefit of having a child’s well-check at the same time.
Sports physicals and well-child checks will be provided at no cost to walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis; appointments are not available. The event will be held at the group’s Lewiston Orthopedics office at 320 Warner Drive.
Sports physicals allow the opportunity to evaluate previous injuries, get a baseline for concussions and help decrease the chance of future injuries. The providers at Lewiston Orthopedics are specifically trained to detect conditions that may increase the chances ofan injury, illness or life-threatening event.
Participants must bring their sports physical form to the sports physical event; a parent or guardian must be present with the student. Participants must wear shorts and a T-shirt. And if a participant wears glasses or contacts, they are required to wear them to the sports physical.
For more information call Lewiston Orthopedics at 208-743-3523 or Valley Medical Center at 208-746-1383.
