ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA — Students in Orange and Seminole counties who are uninsured can get free back-to-school physical exams before classes resume on August 13.
Sheperd’s Hope, a charitable clinic in Florida, is stepping up to offer the free services in partnership with Nemours Children’s Health System.
"This is our fifth year working side-by-side with Shepherd's Hope on their free back-to-school physicals. We believe it's important for children to be prepared as they start the school year so they can be successful the rest of the year," said Al Torres, MD, chief of critical care and transport at Nemours Children's Hospital. "Everyone from Nemours who volunteers at Shepherd's Hope wants to return, including me."
The free physicals will include a general health assessment and sports physicals. No immunizations will be given during these events. Select locations will offer vision and hearing screenings.
Appointments are required and must be scheduled in advance by calling (407) 876-6699, ext. 243.
