Presented by TDC Orthopedics, the event gives parents with middle to high-school – aged students a chance to get a jump on next year’s sports physical requirement, as well as receive health education tailored to young people’s needs.

“We had a great response to last year’s  Health Fair, which we held in August, but this year we decided to offer it before students head off for vacation,” said Cori Berg, Clinic Manager at The Doctors Clinic’s Salmon Medical Center. “This is a great opportunity, particularly for a family with several student athletes.”

Walk-ups will be accepted until 11:30 a.m. as space permits.  Students must be accompanied by a parent.
