It’s back-to-school time and the beginning of high school sports activities, which means the need for sports physicals.
Mountain Vista Medical Center and Desert Grove Family Medical are teaming up to offer free sports physicals for East Valley high school students, including incoming freshmen. Physicals are provided regardless of whether a student has insurance.
The free sports physicals will be offered in Mesa, on Saturday, Sept. 16, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Morning appointments must be scheduled in advance by calling (480) 834-7546.
The standard Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) sports physical remains valid for high school athletics during the entire 2017-2018 school year. A sports physical is required for Arizona students who want to participate in high school athletics.
Physicals will be conducted at Desert Grove Family Medical, located at 10238 E. Hampton Ave., Suite 508.
