Healthy Youth
Answers to questions about adolescent well care exams
Editor’s note: This is
part of a series of messages
brought to you by your
Morrow County health care
providers.
What standard practice
of care is recommended?
The American Medical
Association’s Guidelines
for Adolescent Preventive
Services, the federal Bright
Futures Guidelines, and
the American Academy of
Pediatrics all recommend
comprehensive annual
check-ups for adolescents.
Bright Futures is a na-
tional health promotion
initiative dedicated to the
principle that every child
deserves to be healthy and
that optimal health involves
a trusting relationship be-
tween the health profes-
sional, the child, the fam-
ily and the community as
partners in health practice.
The Bright Futures Guide-
lines provide theory-based
and evidence-driven guid-
ance for all preventive care
screenings and well-child
visits.
Why are exams for youth
important?
Physical, social and
emotional changes dur-
ing adolescence increase
the need for continuous,
comprehensive preven-
tive services. Adolescents
are laying the foundation
for lifestyle and behaviors
that persist into adulthood
(promote healthy behav-
ior and reduce risky be-
havior). Ultimately, this
leads to healthier students,
workforce, community and
economy.
What does a typical exam
involve?
During an adolescent
well care exam, your health
care provider conducts a
risk and strength assess-

Bruce and Toni Young.
Toni Clemens and
Bruce Young were married
on June 11, 2016 at the First
United Methodist Church in
Pendleton, OR with Pastor
Cara Osmin officiating.
The bride is the daugh-
ter of Vickie Clemens and
the late Mac Clemens of
Lakeview, OR and the
groom is the son of the late
Harley and Helen Young of
Heppner.
Denise Griffiths, friend
of both the bride and groom,
served as maid of honor.
She lives in Prineville, OR.
Bridesmaids were
Becky Young, daughter-
in-law of the groom, from
Turner, OR and Kelly Bag-
well, friend of the bride,
from Alturas, CA.
Luke Young, son of the
groom, was best man. He is
from Heppner.
Groomsmen were
Brandon Young, son of the
groom, from Turner, OR
and Matt Young, also son
of the Groom, from Spring-
field, OR.
All five of the bride
and grooms’ grandchildren
played a large role in the
ceremony, with Emerly
Young, granddaughter of
the groom, acting as ring
bearer. Chloe and Elliott
Young, also granddaughters
of the groom, were flower
girls. Taetym Albertson,
granddaughter of the bride
carried a special sign an-
nouncing the arrival of the
bride, while six-week-old
grandson of the bride, Liam
Albertson, was an honorary
usher.
A very special part of
the ceremony to both the
bride and groom was when
all four of their sons, Bran-
don, Matt and Luke Young,
and Taylor Albertson es-
corted the bride down the
aisle.
Family and friends
enjoyed a fun reception
with dinner and dancing at
Hamley’s Slick Fork Sa-
loon with DJ Matt Howard
providing music.
The bride wore a floor-
length, sleeveless ivory lace
gown with a v-neck and
key hole back by Galina.
She accented with tear-drop
diamond earrings, necklace
and a diamond bracelet. Her
bouquet was made up of
red roses, sunflowers, wax
flower, fern and hyperi-
cum berries with a broach
from the groom’s mother
and wedding ring from
the bride’s grandmother
attached.
As a surprise to the
bride, a loaded Bruce
Young logging truck with
“Just Married” painted on
the back of the logs awaited
the couple as they exited the
church, and made for a fun
get-away ride.
Toni is a medical as-
sistant at Pioneer Memo-
rial Clinic and Bruce is a
self-employed logging con-
tractor and owner/operator
of Bruce Young Logging,
LLC.
They are back home in
Heppner and are planning
a honeymoon to the Cay-
man Islands and Bahamas
in October.
