Sheldon, Iowa — Yearly physicals are a great time to make sure your child is growing and developing appropriately and to make sure there are no health issues. In addition, schools often require certain shots and those planning to participate in athletic activities need to have an annual athletic physical.
Wyatt Cook is a family nurse practitioner at Sanford Health in Sheldon. He says now would be a great time to schedule such an appointment.
Cook says if your student-athlete isn’t taking part in a fall athletic season, they probably could wait if the schedule necessitates it.
He says they encourage you to get your kids in as soon as possible.
Cook says you can use their app, Sanford MyChart on your computer or phone to schedule an appointment, or just call Sanford Sheldon or your medical provider. The Sanford Sheldon Clinic can be reached at (712) 324-5356.
