Can anyone help these students get physicals?

Fifteen of the MLK Middle School Cheerleaders need some help getting physicals so that they can participate. Can anyone help out?
“Does anyone know a doctor, nurse or nurse practitioner that can do physicals for my cheerleaders??? It’s about 15 girls that need them. PLEASE let me know ASAP. Thanks.”
I think I can help; have her call Darcy Jones at 757-646-1456; I’m a NP/RN and I can see if my clinic can bring them in.
Try Faye Parpart. She is an RN and works out of Mosby Resource Center (1536 Coalter Street) and for VCU School of Nursing. Call (804) 828-3300 or (804) 786-0204. E-mail: cfparpar@vcu.edu. Each child receiving the sports physical must bring a completed and signed (parent/guardian) current School Physical Exam form at the time of the exam. Physicals cannot be completed if the form is not complete, including immunization information. I have an electronic copy of the current Physical Exam form if you need it. Or you can stop by my office at the Family Resource Center (2405 Jefferson Ave.) for a hard copy.
Way to go Mrs. Watson! Thanks for being such a great mentor to your girls.
If those things don’t work out, I check into avenues of how I can help (I am an internist, so i don’t deal with children normally…but I am also a soon to be mentor at MLK). Depending on logistics, volunteer medical help/malpractice should be covered under Virginia state law….or I could see how I could maybe get the BonSecour care-a-van to cover me to do the physicals….
You can certainly have them come to Vernon J Harris (719 N 25th St). We have a pediatrian and 2 family physicians and routinely do sports physicals. Call 804-780-0840 for an appointment.
