Strawberry Wilderness Community Clinic (SWCC)
offers a wide variety of services to children and
families. We provide care during infancy, childhood,
adolescence, and adulthood including pregnancy and
end of life care. Check-ups and healthy activities can be
very helpful at each stage of life and we hope to help
you maintain lifelong health.
Rearing children is a joy but can be overwhelming and
regular visits to your doctor are recommended to assist
you in caring for your child in the best way possible.
Your child’s first visit is 3-5 days after birth to be
weighed and check in to determine how we might be
able to assist you during this time of transition. Well
child visits occur often in the first years of life as
children grow and change rapidly - typically at 2, 4, 6,
9, 12, 15 and 18 months of age. After turning two,
visits are annually through adolescence. At each well
child check the physical, developmental, and behavioral
growth of your child is monitored and needed immunizations are provided to prevent
serious illness.
Teens experience many physical, emotional, and social changes and those who get well care
visits tend to be healthier. Symptoms for many health conditions and mental health
disorders begin appearing at an early age and preventative care can help identify areas of
concern. The habits that teens develop carry into adulthood and good self-care promotes
lifelong health.
In addition to age related healthy activities, health and
safety is also affected by the season. During the
winter months it is important to take steps to keep
your family free of illness or injury. You can do this
by getting flu shots, participating in winter exercise
activities such as sledding or skiing, practicing good
hand washing, and putting a safety gate around each
wood stove or heating device.
Your family’s physical, mental, and emotional health
is important and the providers at Strawberry
Wilderness Community Clinic are here to help. For
established patients, we offer walk in appointments
for vaccinations and developmental screenings and
same day urgent care appointments for illness and
injury. We are available to assist you with any health
related concerns you might have and look forward to
working with you to create a healthier community.
