HSHS Medical Group are now scheduling school and sports physicals for children 18 and younger.  If your child needs a physical this year, schedule an appointment well before the sports season or school year begins. 

School physicals or annual well child visits are when your physician or provider track your child’s growth and development, perform screenings, and take preventive measures by giving your child age-appropriate immunizations.  Your physician can also answer any questions you may have about your child’s health. 

If your child plays sports, there’s a good chance that he or she will have to submit a medical eigibility form signed by a physician or provider.  During the screening, your physician will review the child’s complete health history, perform an orthopedic screening, examine the heart and lungs, and make sure the student is at his or her best to compete. 

You can call your local family medicine physician or pediatrician’s office to schedule your appointment.  School and sports physicals are available at select HSHS Medical Group walk-in locations for a $20 flat fee excluding vaccinations.  To view a complete list of walk-in locations click here.
