Well Students

Attention: School Districts and Employers

The WELL STUDENTS SCHOOL PHYSICALS CAMPAIGN is intended to provide inexpensive school/sports/camp physicals for all St. Louis kids (public or private). As soon as your school district or employer connects with us, then your child can get a $10 school physical for spring and summer 2014! CLICK HERE

PLEASE NOTE: A school/sports physical fee does NOT include any vaccines, x-rays, minor surgery or medication. In the unlikely event that these tests/treatments are needed then it will be explained to you in detail, including any additional fees that may be involved. 

What are camp, back-to-school and sports physicals?

St. Louis Urgent Cares locations provide routine camp, school and sports physicals. CLICK HERE to register for a school/sports physical now. 

While specific requirements vary by school, camp or sports association, these examinations all provide an opportunity for healthcare providers to discuss important healthcare issues with both guardians and children, and to ensure that the individual is healthy and physically prepared to perform in camp, school, or sports. 

Physical examinations also provide an opportunity to review the individual's complete health history and ensure that he or she is up-to-date with current immunization recommendations for their age.

Who needs camp, back-to-school and sports physicals?

Contact your school, camp or sports association for specific recommendations in your area. Many states require these examinations at least once a year or before participating in any physical activity, camp, or sport.

Before you come in, make sure St. Louis Urgent Cares can complete any forms/letters required for completion, and if so, bring all required forms with you. Minors must be accompanied by an adult chaperone or guardian and have parental/guardian permission. Most camp, back-to-school and sports physicals are not covered by insurance. Payment via cash or credit card is due at the time of service. Certain exceptions, including age restrictions, may apply.
Camp, sports and school physicals are available at St. Louis Urgent Cares for patients ages 17 and under.
