Unfortunately the upcoming Sports Physical Clinic with OSF has to be cancelled. They are having some staffing issues with COVID on the rise again so due to that and low number of students scheduled (only 5 scheduled) they have canceled our clinic scheduled for Wednesday August 3, 2022. I have included some information on finding locations to get the physicals completed if you are unable to schedule with your primary doctor in a timely manner now that our clinic has been canceled. https://www.osfhealthcare.org/practices/search/?adv-practice_type=3&adv-language=&adv-near=61571&adv-radius=25
