What is a Health Check?
A health check is a brief medical clearance exam required before you can use the RFC. This 15-minute exam includes a health history, vital signs, heart and lung check and a hernia check. To schedule an appointment for a health check, contact Health Care Center #1 (919-531-8809) or Health Care Center #2 (919-531-9909).

Who is Eligible for a Health Check?
All SAS employees and dependents covered by SAS Health Plan insurance are eligible to have a health check done at the Health Care Center. Summer students, although not covered by the SAS Health Plan, may also have a health check done at the Health Care Center for RFC participation only. All other employees and dependents must have their personal physicians complete a Medical Evaluation form(PDF).
