Well Child Checkup

A Well Child Check up is required for all children under the age of 21.

The Well Child Checkup includes:

  • Health history and development assessment
  • Complete physical exam
  • Vision and hearing check up
  • Laboratory tests
  • Immunizations
  • Health education

Some health problems are not visible to parents or teachers, and may only be found by a doctor or nurse, or though lab tests.

Health problems found early are usually easier to treat, and will decrease any long-term problems.
