physicals for local high school athletes

I got some information on physicals for high school athletes today. The first is from UNC for free physicals. I'm checking with the media contact to find out if Orange High School students will be getting the same treatment. The second is from Orange County Schools about physicals in Hillsborough.

WHO: An estimated 450 high school athletes from the following Orange County schools: Chapel Hill High School, East Chapel Hill High School,Carrboro High School, Cedar Ridge High School, Northwood High School.

WHAT: UNC Orthopaedics physicians will provide free pre-participation physical exams to high school athletes.

WHEN: 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 29.

WHERE: The UNC Orthopaedics clinic in the Ambulatory Care Center at 101 Mason Farm Road on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus.

BACKGROUND INFO: UNC Orthopaedics anticipates doing nearly 450 pre-participation physicals that evening, and will have more than 15 attending and resident physicians on site doing the work. Without such an opportunity, these athletes would likely have to pay approximately $100 each for a physical exam.

In addition, UNC Orthopaedics provides these athletes with on-field physician coverage for home football games at each of these schools,access to the UNC Orthopaedics Prompt Care Clinic, and their trainers have 24-hour access their trainers have to UNC sports physicians.
