Over two weeks from May 28th to June 12th, 2026, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) health care staff are hosting district-wide school physical opportunities. The JCPS students can get their mandatory physicals, vision and hearing tests, and confirm their immunizations are up to date. This is a fantastic opportunity for children and families to get prepared for the upcoming school year. The staff are also on hand providing free eye examinations. Special thanks for JCPS amazing Nurse Practitioners and healthcare staff for this initiative to help improve the population health.![]()
