The back-to-school bell signals that organized sports are not far behind. Most sports leagues require a child to have a pre-participation physical examination. For your child’s safety and your peace of mind, the exam will assess your child’s current health and fitness level – and possibly detect any conditions that may require immediate attention. “Your Health Matters” at BRMC reminds you that if your child will be playing a sport this season, make an appointment with your health care provider early and kick off your child’s sports season on the right foot. “Your Health Matters” is brought to by the ER Brownwood Regional Medical Center.
