Tampa Bay Children starting school for the first time or students moving to Florida from another state are required by the Florida Department of Health to have a school physical, and LifeWorks offers this as a family care service.
The exam is performed at our Clearwater clinic by the Nurse Practitioner and she will check the following:
- Height
- Weight
- Vital signs
- Eye chart test
- Ears
- Throat
- Lungs
- Heart
- Musculo-skeletal
- Alertness
In addition, the parents will be asked some questions about the student’s behavior, activities, nutrition and emotional well-being.
Upon completion of the physical, the student will be given a completed report to take to school.
