At Aslan Health, we are excited to announce that we now offer Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals! This service is an essential addition for many individuals in our community, particularly professional drivers, who need to maintain their commercial driver’s licenses (CDL). These physicals ensure that drivers meet the health standards required to safely operate commercial vehicles.
DOT Physicals and Whole Person Care
Our commitment to providing DOT physicals aligns perfectly with the Work aspect of our Whole Person Care Model. The Model of Healthy Living, which Aslan Health uses to guide our approach, emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. One of the key areas we focus on is Work Life, recognizing that an individual’s employment is a significant contributor to their overall well-being. For many, maintaining a job is not just about financial security but also about a sense of purpose and community.
By offering DOT physicals, we are helping individuals continue working safely and confidently, supporting their ability to sustain employment. This is not just about meeting regulatory requirements—it’s about making sure people are healthy enough to do their jobs, ensuring they can continue to contribute to their families and community.
What to Expect During a DOT Physical at Aslan Health
When you come in for a DOT physical at Aslan Health, we take a comprehensive approach, focusing not only on meeting federal guidelines but also on supporting your overall health. During the exam, we will check:
- Vision and hearing
- Blood pressure and heart rate
- General physical health (checking for conditions that might affect safe driving)
- A review of your medical history
Our aim is to ensure you are fit for your role as a commercial driver while also addressing any underlying health issues that might impact your work and long-term well-being.
Supporting Your Whole Health
At Aslan Health, we understand that health impacts every aspect of life, including your ability to work. The DOT physical is an opportunity to engage with our broader services, including lifestyle counseling, chronic disease management, and referrals to specialists if needed. We care for the whole person and want to see every member of our community thrive both at work and in life.
By offering DOT physicals, Aslan Health is helping to remove barriers to health and employment. For many, this service allows them to keep working, supporting their families, and contributing to our community. It’s one more way we are Caring for our Neighbors.
