Marshall Health Network will offer free sports physicals on June 4, giving student athletes access to a required pre-participation exam at no cost, according to a report by the Herald-Dispatch.
Sports physicals are typically required before student athletes can participate in school-sponsored sports programs. The exams check for conditions that could pose a health risk during athletic activity, including heart irregularities, musculoskeletal problems, and other concerns.
The free event from Marshall Health Network provides an opportunity for families who may face financial barriers to meet school or league requirements before the next sports season begins. Further details about the location and registration process were not specified in the available report.
The June 4 date gives families in the area several days to plan ahead before the event takes place.
