President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday for his annual physical and dental checkup, marking his third visit in the last year. The appointment had appeared on Trump’s public schedule in advance and is expected to include routine medical and dental evaluations, according to the White House. He visited Walter Reed in April and October of 2025, as well as two visits to his dentist in West Palm Beach this year.
Annual presidential physicals at Walter Reed generally include blood work, cardiovascular screenings, vision and hearing evaluations, neurological assessments, weight and mobility checks, and reviews of medications and chronic conditions.
Cognitive screening tests are sometimes included, though the White House has not said what specific exams Trump will undergo Tuesday.
The visit is likely to draw heightened attention, as Trump, who turns 80 next month, is the oldest person to be inaugurated as president in U.S. history.
Questions surrounding age and fitness for office became a defining issue in the 2024 campaign, with both Trump and former President Joe Biden facing criticism over stamina, cognition, and overall health.
