Held on Saturday, August 2, at the practice’s Kettle Point location, the event provided 158 student-athletes with comprehensive physical exams at no cost. These physicals, often required for school athletics and recreational programs, can be difficult to obtain due to a shortage of primary care appointments—especially during the busy back-to-school season.
Terry Moreno Toste was recently featured in the Providence Business News' Five Questions segment, where she discussed UOI's upcoming free Fall Sports Preparticipation Exam event and why it's needed.
Continuing a community-focused tradition spanning more than 25 years, University Orthopedics is pleased to announce its Free Fall Sports Pre-Participation Exams for student-athletes of all ages, including collegiate athletes, will be held Saturday, August 2, 2025 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Before they can participate in school-sanctioned sports, student-athletes are required to have a physical exam. For more than 25 years, University Orthopedics has offered these exams for free during this annual event.
During the four-hour event, the medical team - comprised of University Orthopedics physicians, advanced practice providers, and therapists - volunteered its time to provide 196 exams. That’s double the number provided during last year’s clinic.
Dr. Owens and Terry Moreno Toste discussed by the sports pre-exam program is so important.
