Football Season Is Here! Is Your Child Healthy Enough?

For any student to play sports or be involved in extracurricular activities, they must undergo a physical. At Medinet Family Care Clinic, our physicians conduct physical examinations for patients of all ages.

Football is a very rough sport, and may be the roughest in the nation. This is why getting a physical exam is absolutely necessary for students. It must be confirmed that their body is ready for such activity. Through this checkup, our doctors check to make certain the heart, the lungs, and other areas of the internal and external portions of the body are healthy and in proper working order.
