District 4 Public Health Departments provide head-to-toe assessments to youth from birth to 20 years old to achieve and maintain optimal health. Periodic well-child checkups ensure your child is growing and developing at appropriate levels for their age.
During checkups, we will assess and test for (as needed) potential physical or developmental problems and give guidance to improve each area of your child’s health. We discuss safety and preventive practices, such as immunizations, as well as healthy behaviors such as sleep, nutrition and physical activity.
