SALEM, Ore., May 11, 2023 - Hope Orthopedics of Oregon will be hosting their free sports physical clinic on Saturday, June 3rd. Open to all student athletes, the clinic will be open from 9:00am to 11:00am at 1600 State Street, Salem Oregon. Athletes must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. If you are interested in having your athlete participate, please fill out the OSAA physical exam form ahead of time and bring it with you to the clinic.

Hope Orthopedics is proud to offer this event each summer. With the exception of 2020, roughly 175 athletes are examined each year. "No one else in the Salem area offers free sports physicals and we are proud to be able to do this for our community," says Susie Trantham, MSPT, ATC/R, who has coordinated the free clinic at Hope for many years, "This is something our providers and leadership are committed to providing for the Salem Keizer student athletes."
