Newport Hospital offering free sports physicals

NEWPORT — In preparation for the upcoming school year, Newport Community Hospital is offering free sports physicals on Friday, Aug. 6 from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

Athletes should wear loose-fitting clothing (shorts, T-shirts) for the physicals. If you are unable to make it to the clinic, appointments for sports physicals can be scheduled at a later date for $30.
