Well-child visits help prevent illnesses, track a child’s growth and development, allow conversation about possible concerns and create a team approach with your child and their doctor. This October, we recognize Children’s Health Month to build awareness about health factors affecting children and encourage regular visits with a pediatric provider. Children have unique health needs and environmental and nutritional factors can contribute to challenges. Regular well-child visits help build relationships and create trust between your child and their provider.
For a recommended schedule of well-child visits, visit HealthyChildren.org. Following this schedule provides the opportunity for parents to ask questions while the pediatric team conducts screenings and measures the child’s growth and development.
Eligible patients can schedule an appointment at Chickasaw Nation Department of Health clinics. Visit ChickasawNationHealth.net/Pediatrics or contact the nearest clinic in Ada, Ardmore, Purcell or Tishomingo
