Glenbard Township High School District 87 athletes
We see Lombard, IL athletes from Glenbard Township High School District 87 before each season. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends a sports physical for all middle school through college-age students, whether or not they play on an organized team, and suggests booking it at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead.
Fill out the history pages at home with your athlete. The AAP stresses honest, complete answers, especially about fainting, chest pain during exercise and any family member with heart problems. Bring the form your school or league uses.
What the AAP says a sports physical covers
Area
What the clinician looks at
Heart health
Symptoms with exercise, family heart history and blood pressure
Mental health
Stress, mood, anxiety and attention, asked in private
Bones and joints
Old injuries, flexibility and strength
Concussion
Past head injuries and whether clearance was given
Female athletes
Menstrual health, nutrition and bone health
The AAP's first choice is the pediatrician, ideally during a well-child visit. When that is not possible, our walk-in sports physicals can help; share the results with your child's doctor afterward.
Park district programs, clubs and summer camp forms
The Lombard Park District dates to 1927, when it was established by court order, and the village is known for Lilacia Park and its May festival, Lilac Time. Park programs, clubs and day camps often send their own health forms, separate from the school form.
Read the camp form before the visit and fill in the parent section
List your child's medicines, allergies and any inhaler or epinephrine plan
Bring the vaccine record if the form asks for dates
Bring glasses or contacts for the vision check
A camp physical covers the same basics as our other physical exams: history, vital signs, vision and a hands-on exam, then the form is completed.

Illinois school exams for Lombard, IL students
Read moreClose
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) requires a health exam within one year before kindergarten or first grade, on entering sixth and ninth grades, before preschool, and on entering any school, at any grade. That last rule catches families who move to Lombard, IL mid-year. Proof is due before October 15 of the school year.
The exam goes on the Certificate of Child Health Examination, which also records vaccines. IDPH's 2026 to 2027 rules add Tdap for sixth grade and meningococcal vaccine for grades 6 through 12, and the CDC schedule lists booster shots at ages 4 to 6. Bring the vaccine record to the school physical, and call (630) 324-6825 if you want a shot at the same visit.
Uninsured in Lombard, IL? How paying for a physical works
Read moreClose
Census Bureau estimates show about 4.8% of Lombard, IL residents have no health insurance, roughly one person in 20. You can still get a physical. Self-pay visits at Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, start at $125. Ask what the exam and any added tests or shots will cost before they are done.
A pre-employment physical follows your employer's form. Bring the form, a photo ID and a medicine list. All of our employment physicals are non-DOT, and we do not do commercial driver (CDL) exams. Non-DOT drug screens can be collected at either clinic. Our team is led by board-certified physicians.
Does a Glenbard District 87 athlete need a new physical every year?
It depends on the school's rules. Many schools and leagues accept an exam done within about the past year, but each sets its own policy. Check with the athletic office before the season, and come in 6 to 8 weeks early so there is time for any follow-up.
Can a Lombard, IL family use the Jewel-Osco clinic for a school form?
Yes. Either of our Westmont, IL clinics can see you for a school or work form. The Jewel-Osco clinic is walk-in, so call (630) 541-6113 if you want to confirm before you drive. If you would rather book a time, you can book either clinic online.
My child is starting a new school in Lombard, IL mid-year. Do we need a physical?
IDPH requires a health exam when a child enters any school, at any grade. Ask the new school what records it already has and when proof is due. Bring the state form and your child's vaccine record to the visit.
Will a Lombard, IL family's insurance pay for a sports physical?
Sometimes. Many plans cover a yearly well-child visit but not a separate sports form, and rules differ by plan. Call your insurer and our office at (630) 324-6825 to check. If you pay on your own, self-pay visits start at $125.
Can my Lombard, IL teen get a sports form and a first-job form at the same visit?
Often, yes. Bring both forms and say so at check-in. Much of the exam overlaps, such as history, vital signs and vision, but each form may ask different questions, so the clinician reviews both. A parent or guardian should come along for teens under 18. All job physicals we do are non-DOT.
