Well Checks & Physicals

Well Child Visits & Affordable Sports Physicals

Regular Well Child Visits are the cornerstone of your child's health. They provide a vital opportunity to:

  • Monitor physical, emotional, and social development.
  • Proactively prevent potential health problems.
  • Address any questions or concerns you may have.
  • Work collaboratively with your primary care provider.
  • Sports physicals can be done during a Well Child Visit.

Well Child visits are recommended once a year beginning at age 3; children under 3 typically require more frequent visits. Follow your provider's specific recommendations.
