children without a doctor and those needing comprehensive health
care including sports physicals may access free and low-cost
services at the Springfield School Based Health Center. All
required vaccines will be available at low or no cost at the
Springfield School Based Health Center. Please
call (541) 744-4130 for an appointment.
Immunizations:
Visit the State
of Oregon website for immunization requirements
for attendance at public schools.
Sports Physical
Exams:
All students participating
in district sponsored sports teams (middle and high schools)
must have a sports physical on file in the school office.
Sports physicals are required every two years with a yearly
update signed by the students parent or guardian. The Oregon
School Athletic Association (OSAA) requires that sports physicals
are only accepted from a licensed M.D. or D.O. (Doctor of
Osteopathy), or a nurse practitioner and that the physical
be completed before the student begins practice.
Sports physicals
are available through the clinic. The examination cost is
$50.00. Contact your school athletic director for information
on financial assistance that is available to help cover
this cost.
