SYLACAUGA, Ala. – This week, Coosa Valley Medical Center hosted area athletes for annual sports physicals. More than 900 students received health screenings and physicals at the First Baptist Church in an event hosted by Coosa Valley Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Department, athletic trainers, physicians, and other CVMC team members, benefiting coaches, students, and parents.
A requirement by the AHSAA for any sport, these physicals will help prepare students who plan to play a sport during the next school year.
“This is just another way CVMC can give back to our community,” said Chief Business Development Officer Vanessa Green. “We are proud to be able to serve such a great community.”
