PREVENTATIVE WELLNESS
Being proactive can help keep you healthy. The goal of preventative wellness care is to detect and prevent you from getting an illness or injury. It’s important to establish a baseline of your health and stay on top of yearly visits. Wellness visits can include screenings, vaccinations and more. Schedule your check-up today to prevent illness tomorrow!
SPORTS PHYSICALS
A sports physical helps to determine if it is safe for you or your student to participate in a particular sport. These exams are typically required before an athlete can start a new sport or a new competitive season. Please print off and complete the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) Form prior to your appointment and bring with you.
