With the upcoming school sports season just around the corner, Northeastern Rural Health Clinics has officially released its comprehensive 2026 Sports Physicals schedule to help local student-athletes get completely prepared and cleared for play.
Because appointments fill up rapidly ahead of the school year, parents and guardians are highly encouraged to review the dates and book an exam as early as possible to ensure their child doesn’t miss the first day of practice.
Families can take advantage of affordable pricing, with a $40 fee payable directly at the time of the visit, though medical insurance may also be billed.
To streamline the appointment, please remember that a parent or legal guardian must be physically present during the visit to provide the required signed consent. Additionally, student-athletes are asked to wear shorts on their scheduled exam day to facilitate a quick and proper physical evaluation.
To accommodate households across the region, physicals are being offered at multiple convenient locations throughout the summer and early fall. For those looking to book an appointment in Susanville at the Northeastern Rural Health Clinic, dates are available on July 14th, July 21st, July 28th, August 11th, August 18th, August 25th and September 15th.
Families in neighboring communities can also access these services closer to home, with clinics scheduled on-site at Herlong High School on July 24th and at Westwood Family Practice on August 4th.
Please keep in mind that all listed dates are subject to change. Don’t wait until the last minute to secure your athlete’s clearance. To schedule an appointment for either the Susanville or Herlong dates, please contact Northeastern Rural Health Clinics at 1.530.251.5000. For appointments at the Westwood location, you can reach Westwood Family Practice directly at 1.530.252.1212.
