ATHENS, Ohio (May 23, 2000) -- Sports physical clinics for Southeastern Ohio youth, sponsored by Community Service Programs (CSP) at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, will start June 20.

Physicals will be offered for elementary and junior high school students at four clinics this summer: Tuesday, June 20; Wednesday, July 12; Wednesday, Aug. 2; and Thursday, Aug. 3. Each clinic will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the University Osteopathic Medical Center family medicine wing on the second floor of Parks Hall.

The cost of each physical is $15, payable at the time of the examination. Immunizations are available at no charge to all children receiving physical examinations. CSP requests that those interested please schedule appointments in advance.
