JCHC to Host Free Sports Physical Night
FAIRFIELD, IA — Jefferson County Health Center (JCHC) is proud to announce the return of its Free Sports Physical Night, an annual community event designed to help area student athletes get ready for the fall sports season and the upcoming school year.
The Sports Physical Night will be held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm at the JCHC Professional Clinic, located at 2000 S Main Street in Fairfield.
This event is free of charge and open to all middle and high school athletes. No appointment is needed – students may simply walk in during event hours.
“We are excited to bring this valuable service back to our community,” said Amy Vetter, Marketing & Community Relations Manager at JCHC. “Making sure our student athletes are healthy, safe, and ready to compete is part of how we support local families and our school’s sports programs.”
To prepare for your athlete’s sports physical:
- Complete pages 1 and 2 of the pre-participation form, available on our website at //www.jeffersoncountyhealthcenter.org/sportsphysicals or through your local school.
- Bring the completed form with you to Sports Physical Night.
- Parents or legal guardians are required to accompany their athletes to the appointment, as parental consent is required to initiate the exam.
JCHC providers, clinical staff, and volunteers will conduct all aspects of the required sports physical.
In addition to receiving a completed physical, families have the opportunity to support others by donating backpacks, notebooks, pencils or other school supplies to JCHC’s School Supply Drive. All donations collected during the Sports Physical Night will benefit SIEDA’s annual School Supply Distribution program.
“This event reflects our mission to care for our community,” added Vetter. “We want to remove barriers for families while also giving them a chance to pay it forward to others.”
If a student is unable to attend the Sports Physical Night, appointments are being made now through the JCHC Clinics. Physicals conducted through the JCHC Clinic with an appointment will be billed to insurance. Call 641-472-4156 (Fairfield) or 319-456-2058 (Richland) to schedule your sports physical.
