PeaceHealth Family Medicine offering back-to-school sports physicals

FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. – PeaceHealth Peace Island Family Practice clinic is holding two back-to-school sports physical clinics this month for established patients.

The half-day clinics will be Monday Aug 8and Monday Aug 29. Patients should call and schedule an appointment for anytime in the afternoon on either day.

The cost of the exams is $40; typically insurance does not cover this. The exams are required in order for youths, grades six through 12, to participate in extracurricular sports. The exams can screen athletes for potential illness or conditions that may limit or restrict their ability to participate in a sport, or conditions that may be aggravated by intense exercise.

To schedule an appointment, please call the clinic at 360-378-1756.
