Physicians from Temple Health teamed up with the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation at the Wells Fargo Center to provide free physicals to nearly 200 boys and girls who play youth hockey in Philadelphia. On hand for the event was Larry Kaiser, dean and president/CEO of Temple's healthcare enterprise. "Early detection is the best path to preventing or successfully treating a health risk or clinical problem," said Kaiser. "Our doctors were able to identify potential problems that will require immediate follow up, and we will make sure the kids, with their parents, get to the right specialists."
