The HOPE Mobile regularly offers school and athletic physicals but
has designated the following six dates to best serve the community:
Aug. 1, 2, 9, 14, 15 and 16. The HOPE Mobile will be parked at the
Logan County Department of Public Health on those days. Appointments
are required and can be made by calling Family Medical Center at
217-732-9681. Kathleen "Kat" Tucholke, a certified nurse
practitioner from Memorial Physician Services at Family Medical
Center, will conduct the physicals along with Ruth Freeman, a
registered nurse with the Logan County Department of Public Health.
Patients will be checked in and assisted by volunteers from the
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
The fee for the physicals is $45 for those making payment by
check or cash at the time of service. Current Medicaid, All Kids and
private insurance will be accepted and billed at the regular rate
through Memorial Physician Services at Family Medical Center.
Individuals not paying at the time of service are encouraged to
check with their insurance to determine if the physical will be
covered and confirm that Family Medical Center is an accepted
provider.
Children under the age of 18 will require a consent. For a
consent form or more information, call 217-605-5008.
