Back-to-school and sports physical clinics set Aug. 6-7
The Delaware Division of Public Health will hold a back-to-school and sports physical day at one clinic in each county the first week of August.
Events are open to all Delawareans looking for a back-to-school physical or those looking for a physical required to participate in Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association activities. Insurance will be accepted. With or without insurance, the maximum out-of-pocket cost is $20. Scheduling appointments is encouraged, as walk-in availability will be limited and wait times may be long.
