The Henry and Stark County Health Department, along with First Choice Healthcare, is offering DOT Physicals for area drivers at their Kewanee and Toulon clinic locations. These exams are a federal requirement for many commercial drivers, especially those transporting passengers, operating large or heavy vehicles, or moving hazardous materials. Qualified nurse practitioners, certified as DOT medical examiners, will conduct the physicals. Drivers taking medications for conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, or mental health issues must bring a clearance letter from their provider.
Drivers requiring Department of Transportation physicals are reminded they can schedule appointments at First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee and Toulon. To book a visit, contact the Kewanee office at 309-852-5272 or the Toulon office at 309-852-3115. These exams are vital for maintaining compliance and ensuring road safety.
