The Medical Staff of Boundary Community Hospital, along with hospital employee volunteers, and Conrad Garner, the High School Athletic Director,and Wayne Wilkerson, BFHS Head Boys' Soccer Coach, gathered at the Outpatient Clinic of Boundary Community Hospital to conduct the State of Idaho required Sports Physical. The physical is mandatory for participation in school sponsored sports programs. Sixty-nine students received free physicals, which included tests of vision, height, weight, and urinalysis, as well as an entire series of range-of-motion tests from the hospital’s Rehabilitation Department. Each student progressed from station to station during the exam with a visit to a local physician as the final stop to complete the exam. Marcia Morman, Boundary Community Hospital spokesperson, says “thank-you” to all the hospital employees and Medical Staff who helped. “All of the volunteers stayed after a full work day to put in another two hours to perform this community service,” Marcia stated. “The free physicals have a positive impact on our community. I am always impressed with the wonderful attitude of our hospital employees and their spirit of volunteerism.”
