Taking your child to the doctor for regular checkups

We encourage all parents and caregivers to have a “medical home” for their child. This means taking your child to the doctor for regular checkups or well child visits so the doctor will know your child and your child’s health history. When the doctor knows your child well, it is easier to spot any problems that may come up. Seeing the same doctor year after year will help you build trust and will keep your child’s records together in one place.
Looking out for your child’s health today and in the future can help your child be healthy, happy and ready to learn.
Contact your pediatrician for information on scheduling medical appointments for your child.
