The Pinellas school year is winding up, but it’s not too early for families in need to get a jump on next year by taking care of their child’s health screenings starting on June 17.

The Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) is again offering its annual summer Back to School clinic services to students, kindergarten through grade 12, to prepare for the 2019-20 school year. Required forms are available to complete prior to arriving for your appointment.

Beginning on Monday, June 17, DOHPinellas’ school-based clinics will provide school, sports and well child physicals, including immunizations, at no cost for clients in need. Vision screenings, provided by Preserve Vision Florida, as well as assistance for glasses and exams (for qualifying clients) will be available. SERTOMA Speech & Hearing Foundation of Florida, Inc. will provide support to students who need additional hearing consultation and screening. The last day to receive services is Tuesday, Aug. 13.

The services will be provided at no cost by appointment only between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. from Mondays through Thursdays on a rotating schedule at the following locations:

• Pinellas Park High School Clinic: 6305 118th Ave N.

• Northeast High School Clinic: 5500 16th St. N.

All Pinellas children entering kindergarten on August 14 are required to present a school entrance physical, dated within one year of school enrollment.

DOH-Pinellas’ school-based clinics are a partnership with the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County. The clinics provide services to students on campus during the school year and open to the community during the summer months.
