Sports and Outdoor Activities -- Help your child prepare for sports and enjoy the outdoors while staying safe and healthy:
Well Checks -- Planning an overseas trip? Need a camp or sports physical? Your child will receive necessary immunizations and physicals at their well checks. These are important in ensuring your child stays healthy during those activities.
- Bring your child in to all regularly scheduled Well Check visits. For more information, please view Before Your Well Care Visit, or talk to your child's physician or practicioner.
- Don't forget, teenagers need regular well checks too! It is important to keep up with their teenage immunizations and screening tests.
- Sports physicals are usually required as clearance to play. We encourage you to book appointments as far in advance as possible, as summer tends to be a popular time for well checks.
