Local schools are spreading the word that MedExpress Urgent Care is currently offering Sports, School, or Camp Physicals for only $20, through August 31, 2009. The promotion does not include any additional services or tests that may be required and is only valid for Pre-K through 12 th grade and traditional college students.

Students planning to participate in sports this fall are required to have a current Sports Physical completed before they can play. Once obtained, the physical is valid for 12 months, so even those planning to play spring sports can take advantage of the promotion.

These physicals can be obtained at any MedExpress location, during their regular hours from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. No appointment necessary, just walk in and you'll be seen promptly.

MedExpress Urgent Care is a full-service, walk-in clinic offering medical treatment to all ages for illness and injury. X-rays, labs, EKGs, stitches, and IV Fluids are done on-site.
