“A pre-participation physical exam helps ensure that student-athletes are healthy, safe and ready to compete, while identifying potential health concerns before they become serious problems on the field,” said Dr. Grace Schwantes, Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center pediatrician. “It also makes sure your student-athlete is in compliance for the first day of practice.”
This visit fulfills Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association pre-participation physical exam requirements. WIAA physical cards will be available onsite
