Sports Physicals Offered at MHS
OSF Healthcare will be offering sports physicals at Mendota Township High School on Wednesday, May 2 from 2:30 until 4:30 PM. No appointment is necessary and walk-ins are welcome. Please note that a sports physical DOES NOT meet the requirement for an incoming freshman's school physical. Parents should contact their child's primary care doctor or pediatrician to schedule a school physical, as immunization records are required.
Each student is required to provide the following in order to receive his or her sports physical:
1 - a completed consent form
2 - a completed IHSA form
3. $25.00 payment (cash or check made payable to OSF Healthcare). Proceeds will be donated to the MHS Varsity Club. For financial assistance, contact the MTHS Athletic Director at (815) 539-7446, ext. 300.
