Do your Athletes have updated Medicals on file? As you all know, Gail Paradise handles the Area 3 Medicals ~ Remember medicals are good for three years. So, anything dated prior to January 2007 are now considered expired. Please check on the status of your athletes’ medical forms now so that they will not miss out on our upcoming events. If you would like Gail to check on the status of anyone’s medical, you can just email Gail and she will check on it and get back to you. Gail can also mail you a copy of a medical if you have misplaced it somewhere along the way.

As for new medicals, PLEASE make sure they are fully completed. Many have critical data left blank, such as the date of birth or the LTP name. Also, the most key piece of information is the date of the athlete’s examination. If it is not clearly written, Gail cannot tell if the medical is valid. So please make sure this is written clearly. We know doctors often don’t have the neatest handwriting, so if it is not clear, please verify the date and clearly print it above or below where the doctor wrote it. Also please make sure that all three copies are readable. You should keep the bottom copy and send the top two copies to Gail. One will be kept in our Area 3 files and the other sent down to the Chapter Office.

Gail's address for mailing medicals is:

Gail Paradise
36 Ford Ave
Wharton, NJ 07885
