As the new school year begins, parents and guardians are being reminded by Davis Health System of the importance of scheduling well-child visits for their children. These check-ups are essential for ensuring that students are healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to succeed in the upcoming academic year.
During well-child visits, doctors work closely with parents to support their child’s health and development. They conduct physical examinations, growth and development assessments, behavioral evaluations, and address any chronic health concerns. Additionally, these appointments include completing sports physical forms. Dr. Amanda Pennington, a pediatrician at Davis Medical Center, advises parents to schedule these appointments early to avoid any last-minute rush.
Well-child visits can be scheduled at various Davis Health System locations including Davis Medical Center, Buckhannon Medical Center, Broaddus Family Care, Webster Memorial Hospital, and The Cowen Clinic. To schedule a well-child visit, parents can contact the respective locations at the following phone numbers: Davis Medical Center (304-637-3948), Buckhannon Medical Center (304-472-1600), Broaddus Family Care (304-457-1760), Webster Memorial Hospital (304-847-5682), and The Cowen Clinic (304-226-3150). Prioritizing these checkups is crucial for ensuring children’s wellbeing and readiness for the school year ahead.
