Wright Memorial Hospital Offers Free Sports Physicals

TRENTON, Mo. — Wright Memorial Hospital will once again offer free sports physical exams for area students who plan to participate in athletic/cheerleading activities during the 2026-2027 school year. Sports physical exams will take place at Trenton High School and Trenton Middle School on Feb. 18, Pleasant View R-VI on Feb. 26, Laredo, Galt, and Humphreys middle/high schools on March 17, Mercer middle/high schools on March 31, and Princeton middle/high schools on April 7.

Wright Memorial Physicians’ Group and Saint Luke’s Mercer County Clinic providers and nurses will visit the schools on the designated dates to perform the physicals onsite throughout the day.

Students who want a free sports physical must obtain the MSHSAA form available at the school, the Grundy County Health Department, or online at www.grundycountyhealth.org. The entire form must be completed before the exam, including the parent/guardian's signature, for the student to receive the physical exam. Instructions attached to the MSHSAA form should be closely followed to ensure the exam can be completed.

Forms must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian before the day of physical.

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.
