All Grant County middle and high school students are encouraged to attend an event providing wellness exams, which include a sports physical.

The event takes place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 27, at Grant Union Jr./Sr. High School.

Due to policy changes, a comprehensive wellness exam is now given, which includes the sports physical. The exams are fully covered each year by all insurance companies.

Students unable to attend should schedule a wellness exam with their primary care provider.

Providers at the event will measure adolescents’ growth, screen for depression and other concerning conditions, perform a physical examination, make sure immunizations are up to date and counsel the student regarding health topics that are important for adolescents.

For more information, visit the School Based Health Center at Grant Union or call the Grant County Health Department at 541-575-0429.
