PIAA examination information
PIAA physicals
The Lehigh Valley Health Network is offering free PIAA comprehensive physical examinations. If you need one, self-scheduling through LVHN opens on October 5, 2026 and closes on November 21, 2026. No appointments will be scheduled before October 5 or after November 21.
Follow the LVHN instructions, and print pages 5 and 6 of the PIAA comprehensive physical form to take to the doctor appointment.
Have an LVHN well check?
Your own clinician can sign the physical
Student athletes who have a current annual well check on file with their LVHN primary care clinician can have their PIAA physical paperwork signed by their clinician at no charge during the designated physical window dates. The PIAA pre-participation physical cannot and should not serve as a replacement for an annual well check, and LVHN strongly encourages all families to stay current with their children’s annual well checks.
