FREE BACK-TO-SCHOOL PHYSICALS FOR UNINSURED CHILDREN
Available beginning July 31 at Shepherd’s Hope locations in Orange and Seminole counties
For the fourth consecutive year, Shepherd’s Hope, in partnership with Nemours Children’s Health System, is offering free back-to-school physicals and other medical services for local uninsured and underinsured families at three locations between July 31 and August 10.
The free back-to-school physicals will include general health assessments and sports physicals (minus immunizations) as well as vision and hearing screenings at select locations with a Nemours specialist. In addition, mammogram screenings will be available for women accompanying their children at the Longwood Shepherd’s Hope Health Center location in conjunction with the Florida Hospital for Women Mobile Wellness Coach.
To qualify, children must be under age 18 and uninsured. The required Florida Department of Health form (DOH 3040) will be issued following completion of the physical examination which meets the Florida state requirement for enrollment in public or private school. Appointments must be scheduled in advance.
Physicals will be conducted at the following Shepherd’s Hope health clinic locations. Appointments can be made by calling (407) 876-6699, ext. 243:
