As kids head back to school, health experts stress the importance of annual well-child visits. These checkups are key for monitoring a child’s physical, emotional, and developmental health, giving doctors the opportunity to track growth, provide screenings, and offer guidance tailored to each stage of life. From birth through the teen years, these visits are essential for keeping kids on track.
Well-child visit rates dropped during the pandemic and still haven’t fully recovered, but catching up now makes a big difference. These appointments ensure timely assessments like hearing, vision, and behavioral screenings, while also keeping children up to date on critical immunizations — including flu, HPV, and meningitis.
