Canyonlands Healthcare is scheduling Well Child Visits for all children.
Well-child visits are essential for many reasons, including:
- Tracking growth and developmental milestones
- Discussing any concerns about your child’s health
- Getting scheduled vaccinations to prevent illnesses like measles and whooping cough (pertussis) and other serious diseases
Sports Physicals
Along with the Well Child Visit, our providers will be offering back-to-school Sports Physicals designed to clear an athlete for participation in sports.
The sports physical focuses on your child’s well-being as it relates to playing a sport. Areas of focus during a Sports Physical usually include:
- Height and weight.
- Vision and hearing.
- Heart health.
- Blood pressure.
- Muscle and bone health, flexibility and strength.
Well Child Visits are covered once each year. After the well child visit, we will bill your insurance. If you are uninsured or underinsured, we offer a discount program. Please see Patient Financial Services for information.
Coverage of the Sports Physical will be evaluated with the parent/guardian at the front desk when checking in to the clinic for the Well Child Exam.
It’s a good idea to complete your Child’s Well Child Visit and Sports Physical early before the school year begins.
The Vaccines for Children program provides free vaccines to children who are Medicaid-eligible, uninsured, underinsured, or American Indian/Alaska Native. Read Get Back on Track with Your Child’s Vaccinations
