Choose Heritage Urgent & Primary Care for for Your School Physical in Wake Forest & Raleigh

Before you child heads back to school, it is important to schedule a school physical to evaluate their overall health, and if necessary, identify and treat any issues that may be present, such as physical development issues or vision-related issues. During these annual exams, we can also administer vaccines and required immunizations. If you are bringing your child in for vaccines and immunizations, please remember to bring a record of their immunizations as well as a list of medications they are currently taking, including over-the-counter and prescription medications.

During the school physical we will do the following:

  • Record their weight, height, BMI, pulse, and blood pressure
  • Evaluate their muscles, joints, spine, and vision
  • Check their ear, nose, throat, eyes, skin, abdomen, lymph nodes, lungs, and heart
  • Review and discuss the medical history of your family and your child

Tips to Keep Your Child Healthy

As a parent, there are so many things to consider with regards to the well-being of your child, ranging from germs and allergies to the nutrition of their school lunches and whether they are getting an adequate amount of sleep. Although there is no way to completely protect your child from experiencing health issues, there are several things you can do to keep them happy and healthy during the school year.

Diet / Foot & Nutrition

Your child’s diet will have a profound impact on their overall energy and mood throughout the day, as well as their development, growth, and established patterns as they age. As such, it is important to set a good example of eating nutritious meals at home and being aware of the food options made available at your school’s cafeteria.

Sufficient Rest

The National Sleep Foundation recommends 9-11 hours of sleep each night for children between the ages of 6-13. Given the hectic work schedules and extra-curricular activities that many children have today, it can be difficult to allot this amount of time every night. One of the best ways you can ensure your child gets a healthy amount of sleep is to establish a consistent bedtime each night. Limiting computer usage or TV time before bed has also been shown to help children fall asleep faster and sleep better.

Immunizations

It is important to contact your school to see what immunizations are required and what immunizations are recommended according to state regulations. By ensuring that your child receives the necessary immunizations, you are not only protecting their health, you are also protecting the health of their classmates and the people who work at their school.

Anticipating Allergy Season

The beginning of the school year coincides with the beginning of a new allergy season. To ensure that your child has the appropriate supplies to combat allergies, be sure to stock up on hand sanitizer and tissues, and if necessary, epi-pens, inhalers, and medications to the school nurse in case your child has a flare up.

If you require health services and are concerned about the cost involved, please refer to the following overview of our clinic’s policies.

Understand Insurance and Medicare Medicaid

All visits are billed under Primary Care and Primary Care Copay. We accept Medicare and are In Network with most major insurance providers and are happy to provide you with a list of accepted providers to ensure you are covered.

If your insurance company determines that a service is not covered, it will be your responsibility to pay the remaining balance.
