After signing up for an appointment time, please fill out a medical history form. A medical history form will be emailed to you the week of May 26th. The Medical History Form will be REQUIRED to be seen at your appointment.
Appointments will take about 30 minutes and we will see 2 athletes at a time. Coaches: this is helpful information if you are trying to book appointments for your athletes and have them done together.
Attending MedFest will count towards your 4 of 9 screenings for getting your Summer Games Healthy Athletes T-Shirt and Joybees.
MedFest was created to offer the physical exam that all athletes need prior to participating in Special Olympics sports programming. It is sometimes the first exposure these athletes have to medical care. In many cases, life-threatening conditions have been found and subsequently treated thanks to MedFest. Led by volunteer physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and medical students, the MedFest screening consists of the following stations: medical history, height and weight, blood pressure, cardiology test, musculoskeletal test, orthopedic tests, abdominal evaluation, and a check out station.
