Physicals at Partner Schools
Van Wert Health will provide mass sports physicals at our partner schools to meet the demands of student athletes ($10). These physicals are for student athletes entering 7th grade or older. If students are unable to attend a sports physical at their respective school, they may make an appointment with any Van Wert Health primary care physician or advanced nurse practitioner for a sports physical, or may go to the Walk-in Clinic (no appointment needed) for a reduced fee of $25 between May 1 - July 31.

What is the difference between an annual wellness exam and a sports physical?
An annual wellness exam monitors the growth and health of a child or adolescent. During a well-child (or well-adolescent) exam, a physician or advanced nurse practitioner will perform several tests and checks to obtain the child’s progress. A sports physical specifically monitors the youth’s health and physical condition in relation to a specific sport that they want to participate in. This helps to ensure that he or she is fit and capable in participating.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children age 3 and older have a wellness exam every year. Children under 3 should have well-child exams more frequently.
