Did you know it's important to bring our kids to the clinic when they are well, too? During the months of August and September, Coal Country Community Health Center will be giving children ages 3-6 a gift when seen for a well-child check. Call to schedule at any of our locations today!
What are the benefits of a well-child visit?
Tracking growth and development: See how much your child has grown in the time since your last visit and talk with your healthcare provider about your child's development. You can discuss your child's milestones, social behaviors, and learning.
Prevention: Your child gets scheduled immunizations to prevent illness. You also can ask your healthcare provider about nutrition and safety in the home and at school.
Concerns: Make a list of topics you want to talk about with your child's healthcare provider such as development, behavior, sleep, or eating.
Team approach: Regular visits create strong, trustworthy relationships among healthcare provider, parent and child. This team approach helps develop optimal physical, mental and social health of a child.
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women in the United States. Combined, it’s estimated there will be more than 150,000 new cases of colon and rectal cancer reported in the U.S. in 2022 alone. Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don’t always cause symptoms, especially at first. That’s why getting screened is so important. With early screening and testing, it is preventable, treatable, and beatable! The CDC updated recommendations to begin screening for colon cancer starting at age 45. This March during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage you and your loved ones to be aware of risk factors and get screened.
