SUMMARY: Catch Kids, a local nonprofit with nearly 30 years of service, is hosting free sports physicals for children 18 and under. These physicals are mandatory for school sports and band participation. The events will be held June 26 and July 10 from 3 to 7 p.m., with no appointment needed. In addition to physicals, Good Samaritan Clinic will offer free health screenings for parents, including blood pressure, heart rate, height, weight, and blood glucose checks. Catch Kids fills a gap since Medicaid and CHIP do not cover sports physicals, providing essential care to families in need.

Catch Kids Inc. is hosting free sports physicals on select dates in June and July.
