Physicals ensure athletes and campers are ready for safe participation in sports and physical activity. Our providers check key health markers, assess fitness levels, and review medical history to help prevent potential health complications. Our comprehensive evaluation includes:

• Vitals Check: We’ll measure the athlete’s height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate to assess overall health.

   

• Vision Screening: A quick eye test ensures athletes meet the necessary vision standards for their sport.

   

• Flexibility & Joint Health Exam: We evaluate the joints and their mobility, as well as overall flexibility, to identify potential injury risks.

   

• Medical History Review: We assess past illnesses, injuries, or conditions (like asthma or prior sprains) to help us make the best recommendations.

   

• Fitness Assessment: Our providers examine the ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, and abdomen to assess cardiovascular and respiratory health. This helps determine if we should recommend any activity limitations.

To ensure your visit is efficient and smooth, please bring the following items to your or your child’s physical at UH Urgent Care:

Required Forms and Documentation

• School, league, or camp physical forms.
  • These must be completed in full before registration.
• Your or your child’s glasses or contact lenses if they are required for the vision test.
• Photo ID (if required by your school or organization).

Medical Information

• A list of current medications and any known allergies.
• Details on past injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions (such as asthma or seasonal allergies).

Parent or Guardian Requirement

• Minors (under the age of 18) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to their visit.
  • If a minor arrives without a parent or legal guardian, we will not be able to complete the exam.

Any requested lab tests or services that are beyond the standard physical exam may result in extra charges. Please note that we do not provide certificates of immunization. These should be obtained from the original administering provider.

•  Pro Tip: Completing all forms in advance reduces potential wait time and speeds up check-in!
