Parrish Medical Group Completes 260 Youth Sports Physicals to Support Local Student-Athletes

TITUSVILLE, FLA. (August 13, 2025)—Parrish Medical Group completed 260 youth sports physicals during their two pre-participation sports physicals events, continuing their strong commitment to the health and safety of young athletes in the North Brevard community. The two events were offered in preparation for the upcoming school year, and each physical was available for $10 per student. The events were designed to help ensure athletes are in peak health before hitting the field, court or track.

In partnership with Who We Play For, a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating preventable sudden cardiac death in athletes, students also had the option to receive an electrocardiogram (EKG) screening. This simple, noninvasive test records the heart’s electrical activity and can help identify irregular heart rhythms, poor blood flow and other potentially life-threatening conditions. Who We Play For completed electrocardiogram screenings for 191 students.

Thanks to the success of the two events, all proceeds from the $10 per student sports physical fee, totaling $2,600, will be donated to the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation. The funds will help sustain athletic training services provided by Parrish Healthcare and support future scholarships for graduating high school students pursuing careers in the medical field.

“We are proud to have completed 260 youth sports physicals ahead of the school year,” said Dr. Anthony Allotta, who is fellowship trained in sports medicine. “These screenings give parents and athletes peace of mind, ensuring they’re ready to play safely. It’s also an honor to give back to our community through the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation, which shares our passion for health, wellness and supporting students.”

The following Parrish Medical Group providers helped complete the sports physicals and made it a successful opportunity for our community: Dr. Anthony Allotta; Dr. Bryan Parry; Rebecca Fagan, APRN; Andreanna Leggett, APRN and Katie Pate, PA-C. This initiative reflects Parrish Healthcare’s ongoing dedication to community health, youth wellness and educational opportunity.For more information about Parrish Healthcare, youth sports physicals or the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation, visit parrishhealthcare.com.
