Here’s to a Healthy School Year

Here’s to a Healthy School Year!

Would you believe it’s already back-to-school time! Buying new clothes and school supplies are probably on the top of your to-do list if you have school-age children. But if you haven’t already, don’t forget to call your pediatrician and schedule a wellness exam for your kids.

In addition to checking your children’s health and growth development, your pediatrician can make sure your children are up-to-date on all their immunizations and ready to return to school. A wellness exam is especially important if your child is entering kindergarten or seventh grade, a time when many schools require it. And don’t forget a visit to the eye doctor. A child’s vision can change rapidly, and good eyesight is important for a student’s classroom performance.
