Why is it important for children to
go to the doctor’s office even if they aren’t sick?
Annual Well Care visits are an important aspect of every child’s
development from birth through adolescent years, even up to age
21. Annual wellness exams focus on prevention, help to track growth
and development, and provide parents with an opportunity to ask
questions about their child’s nutrition, behavior, sleep, and more.
The Morrow County Fair & Rodeo is
right around the corner!
