Memorial Hospital Holds Sports Physicals
Lake Charles Memorial
Hospital Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will provide sports physicals for fall
and spring sports to high school athletes on Saturday, May 14, at the McNeese
Recreational Complex.
Student athletes will have
their blood pressure, pulse, height, weight, upper and lower extremities, and
flexibility checked by a volunteer army of nurses, nursing students, athletic
trainers, and student athletic trainers prior to their physical examinations,
which will be conducted by Memorial physician specialists and resident
physicians, who are also volunteering their time for the
event.
Teams from Cameron,
Calcasieu and Beauregard parishes have
designated appointments to ensure the accuracy and timely completion of the
exams. Athletes must complete a medical history form prior to arrival, and will
be issued a physical examination form upon check-in. To defray the cost of
supplies for the physical, there is a $5 fee per athlete examined.
For more information or to
schedule an appointment, call Lake
Charles Memorial Hospital Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at
(337) 562-4320.
