Mental and physical health are intricately connected. When doing sports physicals, it's beneficial to also check in on the patient's mental health. Here's how to invigorate sports and mental health in a pediatric practice.
"The American Academy of Pediatrics supports physical activity as beneficial for kids’ whole health, and raised concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic about the loss of access to sports on the physical and mental health of children, especially as kids were forced to attend school at home.
The connection between physical and mental health is well-established. Benefits include emotional regulation, lung and heart health, and an improved ability to respond to stress."

Many patients avoid keeping up with preventative care due to financial concerns. Here's how physicians can help patients catch up, address financial worries, and prioritize early care.
"Work a discussion of costs into your normal conversations about screening recommendations. It could be something as simple as “Do you have any concerns about what this test might cost?” If the patient expresses concern, you can reassure them by noting that the screening test is for prevention and should be covered entirely by their insurance."
