Checkups

Health Screening Tests

Health screening tests are routine tests that check for problems before signs show up. When problems are found early, the care is often simpler and may work better.

Sports Physicals

Just as professional sports stars need medical care to keep them playing their best, so do student athletes. That's why it's important to make sure that kids and teens get a sports physical.
