The Center Foundation’s OK to Play Initiative Returns for Summer 2021 (Photo | Courtesy of The Center Foundation) Returning for its third year, The Center Foundation’s OK to Play initiative encourages students to visit their primary care provider for an annual checkup (also known as a well-child visit) to prepare for team sports and activities. Instead of a standalone sports physical, annual checkups are recommended by The American Academy of Pediatrics and include a physical health and development assessment, preventative care plans, screening for stress, anxiety and risky behavior as well as a sports physical. This initiative is made possible by grant funding from the Central Oregon Health Council.
