Wellness exams, sports physicals for student athletes and nonathletes scheduled By Angel Carpenter Blue Mountain Eagle All Grant County junior high and high school ath- letes and nonathletes can receive an annual wellness exam and sports physical (for athletes) from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, July 25, at Grant Union Junior-Senior High School. Students under 15 will need to have a parent or guardian present at registra- tion or to send a signed con- sent to treat the students. Students and parents should be prepared to fill out demographic, insurance and health history information. Insurance will be billed, but if insurance does not cover the event, or a copay is required, the fee will be waived. Those who have just graduated in 2019 are also encouraged to attend July 25 for an exam, organized by the Grant County Health Department.
