ROXBURY - Hundreds of Boston Public Schools (BPS) student athletes headed to Madison Park High School in Roxbury Saturday for free physicals, courtesy of Mass General Brigham.
BPS teamed up with the hospital network to offer the physicals. In all, more than 300 students athletes took part.
"This, I think it's a proactive opportunity for us as a district saying that it's important that our kids have the opportunity to get a physical and knowing that that physical gives them the opportunity to participate in athletics," said Avery Esdaile, the athletic director for BPS.
This is the fourth year BPS and the hospital have held this free event.
