The Henry and Stark County Health Department’s First Choice Healthcare Clinics of Kewanee and Colona will offer sports and school physical exam clinics throughout the summer.
First Choice Healthcare will offer the exams at their Kewanee and Colona locations. Those with insurance coverage are asked to bring insurance information when billing to insurance. Appointments are available at their Kewanee, 110 N. Burr Blvd.; and Colona, 103 1st St., locations.
The clinic will offer school or sports physicals to area junior high and senior high school athletes, freshmen, sixth-graders, kindergartners, and preschoolers. To assist in reducing wait times, people are asked to arrive with the basic information on physical forms (obtained from the school districts) already filled out.
The First Choice Healthcare Clinics encourages parents to call early for their appointments in order to avoid the end-of-the-summer rush.
Immunizations, TB checks, blood lead screenings, and other needed-lab tests are also available to participants at additional charges. The First Choice Healthcare Clinics have all immunizations that are required for school entry as private pay vaccines. Please call for eligibility, costs and for vaccine availability.
In addition, the health department is reminding area parents that certified copies of birth certificates for children born in Henry County since 1971 can be obtained through the Health Department office located at 110 N. Burr Blvd., Kewanee. The charge for obtaining birth certified copies is $13 for the first copy and $6 for each additional copy.
