MEDICAL CLEARANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATHLETES

You must be seen by your VA Primary Care Provider to be

medically cleared to participate in the Games.

Reminder: We will not provide routine medical care, replacement medications, replacement equipment or

replacement supplies for pre-existing conditions. Athletes must bring enough medication and medical supplies to

last throughout the Games. Any medication or medical supplies provided on site will be charged back to Athlete's

medical facility. Narcotic prescriptions will not be filled.

Athletes using oxygen must have their sponsoring VA Medical Center coordinate oxygen services, including

Should a Veteran have a problem that needs attention or treatment beyond first aid they will be sent to the

VA Western New York Healthcare System or the nearest emergency room at a local hospital.
