Bayhealth to offer free sports physicals July 23 in Dover

To help local athletes and their families start preparing for next season, Bayhealth is taking registrations now for free sports physicals from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, July 23, at Bayhealth Family Medicine Dover, 1074 S. State St.

This event reflects Bayhealth’s commitment to provide access to care and strengthen community health. “Sports physicals can be costly, especially for families with multiple athletes, but they are often required by leagues or governing bodies to ensure an athlete’s ability to safely participate in a sport,” said Samantha Ginder, DO, family medicine resident physician. “We’re excited to offer this convenient service, help ensure the safety of our local athletes, and meet new families in the process.”

Even if a physical isn’t required for participation, some athletes or parents may feel safer getting themselves or their loved ones checked out before physical activity. All are welcome to schedule a free sports physical appointment.

Appointments are limited. To learn more and register, go to Bayhealth.org/Free-Physicals.
