Sheppard Clinic will perform sports physicals on the afternoon of Aug 20th, 2014 for children ages 8 years and older. Appointments will be conducted for completion of the physical exam portion only of your child's sports physical paperwork. Please ensure you have completed the medical history portion of the sports physical paperwork prior to the appointment. Please bring your child's glasses or contacts if worn for the vision test. These appointments can be scheduled by calling the 82 MDG appointment line at 676-1847.

If your child has had a well-child visit in the past year, our Pediatric Clinic will complete any sports physical paperwork based off that exam. Simply bring your paperwork to the front desk with the medical history portion completed. Our staff will complete the physical exam portion of the paperwork within 72 hours. If you are unsure of the date of your child's last physical exam, please contact 676-1847 and staff will provide you with this information.

If our appointment schedule does not meet your needs, providers in the community offer sports physicals for a nominal fee. Sports physicals are available on a walk in basis from 0830-1030 or 1330 -1530 at the Family Health Clinic located at 1301 3rd St., Wichita Falls for fee of $10.00. TRICARE does not cover a sports physical as a benefit, so this cost will be an out of pocket expense. If your primary physician is in the community, please contact that office directly to schedule your child's annual well physical.
