 We realize the depth of the information we are asking you to complete.  However, due to more stringent medical privacy acts and our need for more detailed medical histories for our records, as well as those of our insurance carrier, we need to constantly update and expand our base of medical records for all Penn State Behrend student-athletes.  We are asking for your cooperation and patience as we institute these procedures.  Please be aware that all of this information will continue to be confidential, and will only be used as it pertains to your son/daughter’s need for medical treatment and referral.
