As the new school year gets underway, Davis Health System is urging parents and guardians to prioritize their children’s well-being by scheduling well child visits. These check-ups are essential for ensuring that students are healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations, and prepared to succeed in the upcoming academic year.
During well child visits, doctors work closely with parents to support their child’s health and development. By making sure that children receive necessary vaccinations and screenings, healthcare providers can help them stay healthy and excel in school. According to Dr. Amanda Pennington, a pediatrician at Davis Medical Center, these visits also include physical examinations, growth and development assessments, behavioral evaluations, and addressing any chronic health concerns.
Well child visits also include completing sports physical forms. Dr. Pennington advises parents to schedule these appointments early to avoid any last-minute rush. Well child visits can be scheduled at various Davis Health System locations, including Davis Medical Center, Buckhannon Medical Center, Broaddus Family Care, Webster Memorial Hospital, and The Cowen Clinic.
