Why annual physicals and immunizations are essential for your child's health and school success.
As summer approaches and families start preparing for summer camps, sports and the upcoming school year, it's the perfect time to schedule your child's annual physical and ensure they are up to date on all required vaccinations and immunizations.
At Community Health Connections (CHC) we're here to support your family.
Why Annual Physicals Matter
Annual physicals also called Well-Child Visits are more than just a quick check-up, these visits give our medical providers the opportunity to:
- Track your child's growth and development.
- Address any health concerns, screen for vision, hearing and mental health.
- Ensure your child is physically ready to participate in school sports and camps, and keep immunizations up to date, as required by schools and state guidelines.
To make it easier for busy families CHC offers walk-in, no appointment necessary Well-Child Clinics in June, August and September. These clinics are specifically designed to help children get seen and cleared for the school year and are open to all CHC patients and those who do not currently have a primary care provider.
Our pediatric team and our family care providers are experienced in caring for children of all ages and they're here to provide compassionate high quality here.
