AdventHealth to offer free sports physicals for Flagler County students

AdventHealth’s annual sports physicals event for Flagler Schools will be May 21 and 22 from 5 to 9 pm at Flagler Palm Coast High School, 5500 East Highway 100, Palm Coast.

Open to Flagler County public school student athletes, JROTC cadets, fire academy students, and band members, the event offers an easy and accessible way for students to receive their required physicals ahead of the new school year.

Each student will also receive a free ECG heart screening, which can detect potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions. Sudden cardiac arrest remains one of the leading causes of death among high school athletes.

Students need to pre-register at www.FSSportsPhysicals.com.

These sports physicals are part of a longstanding community effort by AdventHealth to support the health and safety of student-athletes across the region.

Last year, 500 volunteers helped AdventHealth perform nearly 1,800 free sports physicals for students in Flagler and Volusia counties, many of whom were in Flagler County.

AdventHealth’s formal partnership with Flagler Schools began in 2021 and represents a $750,000 commitment from the health care organization to bolster student mental health, provide care for student athletes, and establish more career pathways for graduates.
