well care exams
refreshments, tours of the
Morrow County and
Ione school districts strong-
ly encourage parents and
guardians to schedule an
adolescent well care (AWC)
exam appointment, begin-
ning June 1 and throughout
the summer months, to
be prepared for fall sports
seasons and the upcoming
school year. For student
athletes, the exam includes
the OSAA evaluation for
sport/activity participation.
Morrow County Health
District and Columbia
River Community Health
Services have said they
will be providing exams
through appointment only
and will not be providing
open “sport physical” days.
Who provides the AWC
exam?
Make a student ap-
pointment (ages 11-21)
for an adolescent well care
exam at a local Morrow
County health clinic. If the
patient has insurance, the
insurance will be billed, and
the balance, if any, will not
be charged to the patient.
There will be no cost to you.
Appointments can be made
locally at Pioneer Memorial
Clinic, Heppner, 541-676-
5504; Ione Community
Clinic, 541-422-7128; Ir-
rigon Medical Clinic, 541-
922-5880; or Columbia
River Community Health
Services, Boardman, 541-
481-7212.
Why are wellness exams
important?
Physical, social and
emotional changes dur-
ing adolescence increase
the need for continuous,
comprehensive preventive
services, and adolescents
are laying the foundation
for lifestyle and behaviors
that persist into adulthood.
The American Medical
Association’s Guidelines
for Adolescent Preventive
Services, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human
Services Bright Futures
Guidelines, and the Ameri-
can Academy of Pediatrics
all recommend comprehen-
sive annual check-ups for
adolescents. Adolescents
who can easily access pre-
ventive health services are
more likely to be healthy
and able to reach milestones
such as high school gradu-
ation, entry into the work
force, higher education or
military service.
What can you expect dur-
ing an exam?
During an adolescent
well care exam, the health
care professional conducts
a risk and strength assess-
ment, listens to parent and
youth concerns, conducts
necessary screening and
provides guidance on key
health promotion priorities
such as family support,
healthy weight, nutrition
and physical activity, men-
tal health, healthy growth
and development, safety
and injury prevention, and
oral health. The exam will
include, if necessary, an
evaluation for clearance to
participate in sports/activi-
ties and completion of the
required OSAA form.

and Betty Carlson of Hep-
pner, who have contributed

volunteerism to BMCC, as
well as Morrow County.

Road in Boardman and re-

The facility not only
offers general and commu-
nity education courses, but
also houses BMCC’s Data
Center Technician, Indus-
trial Systems Technologies
and Early Childhood Edu-
cation programs.
The Workforce Train-
ing Center is the first of
three major construction
projects to reach comple-
tion.
Voters approved a $23
million bond in May 2015
