2 C SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016 PeaceHealth, school districts provide free physicals Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club On Wednesday, June 4, PeaceHealth Medical Group in Florence partnered with the Siuslaw and Mapleton school districts for School Sports Physical Day. The event assisted families with the annual requirement that students and athletes obtain physicals prior to partic- ipating in extracurricular sports for grades six through 12, and some youth sports leagues. “The goal of sports physical is to keep student athletes safe,” said Paul Pearson, M.D., one of the participating physi- cians. “These exams can help screen for potential conditions that may limit or restrict ath- letes’ ability to participate in school sports. “We are particularly con- cerned about rare cardiac con- ditions that could be disastrous if left undetected.” “The practitioners use the one-on-one time with students to discuss making good lifestyle choices such as avoid- ing tobacco use and other risky behaviors,” added Pearson. PeaceHealth Medical Group contributed medical supplies, as well as the expertise of five physicians and 12 medical assistants. This year, 191 elementary, middle and high school stu- dents were seen: 172 students from the Siuslaw School District and 19 who were trans- ported from the Mapleton School District. to elect new officers at meeting The Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club will hold a spe- cial membership meeting on Tuesday, June 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Siuslaw High School library to nominate and vote in new board members for the 2016-2017 school year.
