Before the pandemic, nearly 30,000 children were without health insurance in Central Florida.
With Florida’s coronavirus case count continuing to climb, families are now being faced with the challenge of getting their children back into the classroom, whether that will be face-to-face or virtually.

It's certainly not an easy task, but Nemours Children's Hospital and Shepherd's Hope are hoping to ease some of the worry for families without health insurance.
Starting next week, families with children who are uninsured or under-insured can now get free back-to-school physical exams.
To qualify, parents must make an appointment for their child. The only other requirement is the child must be 18 and under.

There are four locations that will be offering the exams. Two in Orlando, one in Winter Garden and one in Longwood.
