Has it been a year?
Get ahead of summer and schedule your child's wellness visit today!
Spring Break is over and before you know it, summer will be here! As the school year begins to wind down, summer plans start to take shape - camps, sports teams, travel and more. Before the busy season begins, now is the perfect time to schedule your child's Annual Wellness exam.
I see it every year, parents waiting until the last minute to schedule a visit. My hope is that this message will serve as an important reminder.
Your child’s wellness visits are more than a routine checkup, they ensure:
- Your child is growing and developing on track.
- Staying up to date on vaccinations and immunizations.
- Important health screenings and early detection of health concerns.
- Healthy habit guidance.
- Building a trusted relationship with their primary care provider.
- Meeting school, sports and camp requirements.
- Emotional well-being check in: a safe space to discuss stress, school, friendships & more.
