Ozarks Healthcare is partnering with local schools to provide free sports physicals for students.
The onsite physicals are offered during the school day. Schools will distribute physical forms for parents or guardians to fill out and return prior to the scheduled dates. Families are encouraged to contact their school office or nurse for additional details.
Incoming seventh- through 12th-grade students planning to attend West Plains High School summer camps are required to have a current physical on file.
Physicals will be offered Thursday at Richards School, May 7 at Howell Valley School, May 19 at Dora Schools, June 3 at Winona Schools and July 31 at Alton Schools.
For West Plains R-7 Families
The Ozarks Healthcare Zizzer Clinic, 1013 College St., offers free physical days built into the school schedule through the year. Appointments are available two Wednesdays each month and during a dedicated two-week period at the end of the school year.
Students who are unable to attend their school’s scheduled physical day can call the Zizzer Clinic at 417-505-7123 to arrange a makeup appointment. The clinic is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays (closed from 11 a.m. to noon for lunch).
