PROVIDENCE, R.I. (July 18, 2019) — University Orthopedics has announced that it will be providing free appointments for Fall Sports Pre-Participation Exams for the 22^ndconsecutive year.  Due to the success of this program University Orthopedics will host this event at both their East Providence and Middletown locations.  The exams will be conducted on August 3^rd, 2019, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 1 Kettle Point Avenue, East Providence, Rhode Island and 345 Valley Road in Middletown, RI.   Students of all ages, including collegiate athletes, are invited to participate.

More than 200 local student athletes received free exams in 2018, and with the addition of Middletown they hope to grow this program even more.  “We are thrilled to bring this program to Middletown.  It has been a huge success over the last twenty plus years and we look forward to offering the same opportunity to children and families on the island and surrounding communities,” said Sports Medicine Surgeon Dr. Michael Staebler.
