MedFest was created to offer the physical exam that all athletes need prior to participating in Special Olympics sports programming. It is sometimes the first exposure these athletes have to medical care. In many cases, life-threatening conditions have been found and subsequently treated thanks to MedFest. Led by volunteer physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and medical students, the MedFest screening consists of the following stations: medical history, height and weight, blood pressure, cardiology test, musculoskeletal test, orthopedic tests, abdominal evaluation, and a check-out station.

Any NEW or RETURNING athletes and Unified Partners from Kent School District are eligible to participate! Click here to learn more!

Bring a completed copy of your registration packet to your appointment. The physician will complete the Kent School District Physical Exam form for you at the event.

Please contact healthyathletes@sowa.org if you have questions, or need help completing paperwork.
