Free sports physicals coming to Mercer County

Local Sports

Saint Luke’s Mercer County Clinic will be offering sports physical exams for all students in Mercer County who are planning to participate in athletics and cheerleading during the 2020-2021 school year.

Free sports physical exams will be offered the morning of Friday, July 24th at Saint Luke’s Mercer County Clinic in Princeton.  In order to maintain proper social distancing, appointments are required.  Call the Mercer County Clinic at (660) 748-4040 to schedule the free screening.  The final days to make an appointment will be Tuesday, July 21st.

Students who want a free sports physical must obtain the MSHSAA form available at the Mercer County Clinic, or online at www.mshsaa.org.  The entire form must be completed prior to the exam, including the parent/guardian signature.  Instructions attached to the MSHSAA form should be closely followed to ensure the exam can be completed.  

Parents/guardians do not have to accompany the student if the paperwork has been completed and signed by the parent/guardian.  If the form is not complete, the student will not be seen.

If the student does not pass the sports physical exam, an appointment will need to be scheduled with the student’s primary care physician to have concerns from the sports physical addressed in a more detailed examination.

Students must arrange their own transportation to the exam at Saint Luke’s Mercer County Clinic, located at 400 North Fullerton, in Princeton.  Masking and temperature screenings will be required for all as they enter the clinic.  For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (660) 748-4040.
