Vail Health, The Steadman Clinic to Offer Free Physicals for High School Athletes
In May, Vail Health and The Steadman Clinic will provide its annual free high school pre-participation physicals to Eagle County student-athletes. The two entities have been providing this service for almost 30 years, with around 250 high school athletes taking advantage of this free offering annually.
Physicals will be offered in both English and Spanish on Friday, May 17 at Battle Mountain High School, and on Friday, May 24 at Eagle Valley High School.
“The goal of offering this pre-participation physical screening at no cost is to make athletics possible for all our high school student-athletes, but the true mission is to keep these young athletes healthy and safe,” said Brandie Martin, director of athletic training for The Steadman Clinic.

- Pre-participation screenings are provided in English and Spanish by physicians and staff from Vail Health and The Steadman Clinic.
