Cheers to all who helped with exams

It was another remarkable night in our community when 30 professionals volunteered their time to provide mandatory physical exams for high school students needing them for sports and activity enrollment.

In just over two hours we were able to provide low-cost exams for 88 students (an event record) and raise $880 for the High School Booster Club.

Big thanks to the many who volunteered their time for this amazing event. Special thanks to the physical therapists, nurses, CNAs and administrative staff from South Peninsula Hospital for volunteering their professional time and support. Thanks, also, to Cherish Bee McCallum for her help at the event.

And kudos to the seven providers who volunteered their time to provide the exams: Bill Bell, MD; Rene Alvarez, MD; Margit Sheinmel, DO; Heather Tonga, PA; Carol Klamser, DNP; Gayle Claus, FNP; and Brad Mangum, student FNP.

What a great team ... and a great service for the community. Here's to a great 2010-11 athletic season.
