Sports Physicals
The Arkansas Activities Association states that any student who wishes to participate in any sport-sponsored team or squad must have a current physical each year. The Wildcat Wellness Center located on the WMS campus will offer sports physical for $15.00. No insurance claim will be filed for a sports physical. The provider will not write any prescriptions, update immunizations or treat any specific medical problems. This will strictly be a screening physical to participate in sports.
The Wellness Center staff will be on your student's campus on the dates listed below. They must have a signed consent form and $15 (cash or check made out to Cabun Rural Health Services) before the sports physical will be administered. WMS-March 26, 2024, BJHS-May 10,2024, and EHS-May 17th,2024.
