Boundary Community Hospital’s Medical Staff and
hospital employees are volunteering their time
so youth in Boundary County participating in
sports receive a free physical.
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 any who did not have a physical
last year no matter what the current grade. The
physical must occur before the first practice
starts.
This is a one-night only event. Students are
encouraged to attend. The Sports Clinic is
between the hours of 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on
Tuesday, July 28, 2015 on a first-come,
first-served basis. It is not required to arrive
at 5:00 p.m. Students will travel through six
testing stations and finish with a quick visit
with the doctor. The visit with the doctor is
private 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.
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 Hospital
Director of Marketing and Community Relations,
(208) 267-6912.
