Preventive Health Care

During wellness visits, the primary care team will talk about important issues that may be of concern to your child and family and answer questions on topics such as behavior, development, discipline, education, nutrition, safety, and family relationships. Preventive health care also includes immunizations (shots) children need to prevent serious illnesses such as hepatitis, whooping cough and measles.
