The Noble Health Foundation partnered with the Montgomery & Wellsville School Districts to offer free High School physicals to any 7-12th grade student-athlete.
MEXICO, MO, USA, August 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Noble Health Foundation partnered with the Montgomery City & Wellsville School Districts in Missouri to offer free High School pre-participation physicals to any student-athlete entering 7-12th grade this fall.
Don Peterson, Executive Chairman Noble Health Corporation, stated, “The goal of offering physicals to students at no cost is to make athletics possible for all student-athletes in Missouri, and to keep these young athletes healthy and safe.”
Dr. Chen, a Noble Health med-peds physician, performed a thorough physical & medical examination for each student with help from Lindsay Harris, PA. Both Lindsay & Dr. Chen see internal medicine & pediatric patients at several Noble Health clinics throughout Mid-Missouri & are accepting new patients.
“Our focus is to make healthcare local and affordable to our friends and neighbors in Missouri. This is just one step on that journey.” stated Elijah Haahr, Executive Director Noble Health Foundation and former Speaker of the Missouri House.
While athletics support an active and healthy lifestyle, there are inherent risks of injury, especially as sports become more demanding as students enter high school. Pre-participation physicals help to minimize the risk of severe injuries that underlying health issues may cause. The purpose of the high school physicals is to identify and address any pre-existing conditions so students can play more safely and prevent injury.
