It's that time of year again. The 78th Medical Group will be providing Healthy Start Screenings for Tricare beneficiaries entering Georgia schools for the first time.

Screenings are for students from pre-k through 12th grade and will be July 25 from 9 a.m. until noon in Bldg. 700A; no appointments are necessary.

Children will have vision, hearing and dental exams - all of which are required by the Georgia school system. In addition, height, weight, blood pressure and scoliosis screenings will be performed.

Immunizations will be available, so bring a copy of your child's latest shot record. Georgia school forms 3300 and 3231 will be available and may be completed at the event.

Only the above services will be performed at the school screenings.

Sports physicals are offered daily; call DSN 497-7850 or commercial (478) 327- 7850 to schedule an appointment.  

For more information, call Tech. Sgt. Konshinea Edwards at DSN 497-9441 or (478) 327-9441.
