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.

The Kent County clinic is set from 8:30 to 4 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 6, at Riverwalk State Service Center, Riverwalk Shopping Center, 253 NE Front St., Milford. To make an appointment in Milford, call 302-424-7140.
