Encouraging families to schedule well-child exams and sports physicals during upcoming clinic dates.
Well-child exams provide a comprehensive evaluation of a child’s overall health and development and often include everything needed for a sports physical—plus much more. These visits help ensure children are healthy, up to date on immunizations, and ready for a successful school year.
Upcoming clinic dates include:
- Freeman: July 15, 22 and 29
- Marion: July 14
- Menno: July 14
- Bridgewater: July 16
Appointments may be scheduled at any of Freeman Regional’s four Rural Medical Clinic locations by calling 605-925-4000.
A well-child exam offers several benefits beyond a standard sports physical, including:
- Complete head-to-toe examination, including vital signs
- Review of allergies and medications
- Review and administration of recommended immunizations
- Evaluation of medical and social history
- Education on healthy lifestyles and behaviors
- Sports participation clearance when needed
Many well-child exams are covered by health insurance, making them a convenient and cost-effective option for families.
Students are encouraged to bring:
- A parent or guardian for consent
- Completed school or sports physical forms (if applicable)
- Insurance card for well-child exams
Sports physicals are available for $30 cash on the day of service and are not billed to insurance.
For questions or to schedule an appointment, call 605-925-4000.
