Physicals are important in the health care industry because they help physicians identify potential health problems and recommend necessary treatments. Walgreens does physicals, but the extent to which it does them is unknown.
A Walgreens spokesperson told Medscape that the chain does physicals for all patients, but the extent to which they are conducted is unspecified. The spokesperson added that Walgreens does not receive any financial compensation for doing physicals.
While it is unclear how extensively Walgreens does physicals, it is important for patients to be aware of their health and to have their physical done by a qualified professional. Physicals can help identify health problems that may require treatment and can also help patients stay healthy.
