Health Risk Assesment
A health risk assessment provides individuals with an evaluation of their health risks and incorporates three key elements – an extended questionnaire to collect information, face-to-face with a health advisor to asses health status and feedback to promote a healthy lifestyle or prevent disease.
Pediatric Assessments
An assessment of the child’s current health status and development helps ensure that all children receive appropriate and timely interventions.
Well Child Checks
Bring your child in for routine well child check-ups so that we track your child’s growth and development. During these visits your child’s healthcare provider will give any vaccines that are due and test vision and hearing starting at age 4. Even if your child isn’t due for vaccines, be sure to bring him or her in for check-ups. These visits five your child’s doctor a chance to find and treat any concerns early. It’s also a good time for you to ask any questions you have about your child’s health and growth. (insert Immunization chart/recommended vaccines)
