4 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2015 PeaceHealth offering free sports physicals On Wednesday, May XX, PeaceHealth Medical Group in Florence will be at the Siuslaw Middle School to provide Free Sports Physicals to students participating in athletics for the upcoming school year starting in September for both Siuslaw and Mapleton School Districts, as well as home schooled stu- dents. Sports physicals are required in order to participate in extracurricular sports in grades 6 through 12, and for some youth sports leagues. PeaceHealth Medical Group provides the physicians and medical assistants. During Viks Sports Physical Day, students receive a Sports Pre- Participation Examination. This examination includes height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse check, eye chart exam and examination by a physician. Also included is a health history questionnaire that asks about the student’s history of injury, illness and conditions, such as asthma, to help ensure that they are being properly cared for and that coaches are aware of any con- ditions a student may have. If a provider encounters a medical issue with a student, this information will be docu- mented on their sports physical form and the parents and/or guardians will be notified by an employee from PeaceHealth Medical Group so any issues can be addressed by their pri- mary care physician. This helps ensure that the student can participate in the sporting activity of their choice. This pre-participation physi- cal exam is an important part of safe sports participation. The exam can help screen athletes for potential illness or condi- tions that may limit or restrict their ability to participate in a school sport. It also helps ensure that students who play sports are physically capable of meeting the demands of the sport in which they choose to participate and don't have any conditions that may be aggra- vated by intense exercise. Sports physicals are required prior to the student starting any type of practice related to their chosen sport. The school staff prepares each provider’s room and med- ical assistants’ stations by cov- ering all windows with paper for privacy. The students are moved efficiently through five stations before being seen by the provider. The goal of the sports physi- cal is to help keep sports safe and accessible to every student who wants to play. Deadlines for press releases are Mondays and Thursdays by noon.

DROP, COVER, HOLD until the shaking stops; then get your “grab and go bag” and evacuate preferably on foot to an assembly area. However, if you must drive make sure you al- ways keep you gas tank at least half filled. Be sure to tune into KCST 106.9 as the local emergency broadcast station for further infor- mation. The rule of thumb is if there is violent shak- ing and it lasts more than 10 seconds once the shaking stops – evacuate immediately if you are in a low lying inundation zone area.
