Employment Physicals

Whether you’ve just landed a new job, are returning to work after a leave, or need to meet regulatory health screening requirements, FirstCare Urgent Care Center in Oak Lawn, IL makes the process easy. We provide comprehensive employment physicals for individuals and companies—helping you meet workplace requirements without the stress or long wait.

Many employers, especially those in transportation, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and public service, require new hires to complete a pre-employment physical exam before starting work. These physicals ensure employees are physically fit to perform job duties safely and effectively. At FirstCare, we offer detailed and customizable employment exams based on your job’s specific demands or your employer’s paperwork.

During your employment physical, our board-certified providers will review your medical history, current medications, and any chronic conditions. We’ll check vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory function, and conduct a physical examination of your overall health and musculoskeletal fitness. If the job requires specific capabilities—like lifting, standing, or endurance—we can assess that as well.

For employers regulated by OSHA or the Department of Transportation (DOT), we also offer specialized physicals, including DOT physical exams, return-to-work clearances, fitness-for-duty evaluations, and more. If your position involves driving, machinery operation, or public safety, we’ll ensure you meet all compliance and certification requirements.

At FirstCare Urgent Care Center, our goal is to streamline your path to employment. We’re known in the Oak Lawn, Burbank, Evergreen Park, Hometown, and Bedford Park areas for quick, professional service and same-day availability. You don’t need an appointment—simply walk in during clinic hours or book online to reserve your spot. Most exams are completed in under 30 minutes, and we can fax or email completed forms directly to your employer if needed.

Our clean, modern clinic is physician-owned and operated, ensuring a high level of care and clinical accuracy. We offer on-site lab testing, EKGs, vision screening, drug testing, and vaccinations if your employer requires them—all in one visit. You won’t have to visit multiple locations or wait weeks to be seen.

We accept most major PPO insurance plans, and we also offer affordable cash-pay pricing for patients without insurance or for employers looking to cover the cost for their teams.

If you’re an employer looking to establish a partnership for routine employee screenings, we’re happy to work with HR teams to create a consistent, compliant, and confidential process for your staff.
