    July 20, 2019

    Homer Medical Center is offering free sports physicals at a one-day clinic on Saturday, July 20, 2019 for high school students who need a physical for participation in school sanctioned activities. Appointments are not required, and exams are offered from 10am-4pm at the Homer Medical Center clinic on Bartlett Street. Exams are offered free of charge by providers from Homer Medical Center.

    Parents are asked to complete the History Form and if applicable the Special Needs Supplemental form and bring this entire document with them to the clinic:

    All students must bring or wear loose fitting shorts for the screening.

    If students are unable to attend, they can make an appointment for an annual wellness exam and a sports physical form will be filled out as part of the wellness exam. In most cases this will be at no cost to a patient with insurance. Those without insurance and who do not make the free sports physical day can make a sports physical appointment on a regular clinic day at a cost of $52.00 less a 25% discount for a total of $39.00 to be paid at time of service.

    Please contact Homer Medical Center at (907) 235-8586 for additional information.
