DAYTON–Athletes intending to turn out for sports programs in the Dayton and Waitsburg schools are required to have undergone a sports physical examination prior to participating in practices, and the Columbia County Health System is making that easy for local families.

Sports physicals will be offered free of charge at the Columbia Family Clinic on Tuesday, August 9 and Wednesday, August 17, from 5 to 7 p.m., on a first-come, first-served basis. The Clinic is located at 1012 S. 3rd Street in Dayton.

There is no charge for the service, but donations will be accepted.
