Family Healthcare Back To School Services

Well-Child Visit:

Unlike a “sick visit,” a well-child visit is a time for the doctor to look at all the factors that go into the health and well-being of your child and helps you to track your child’s growth and development. Well-child visits also help develop a trusting, caring relationship between parents, children, and their health care team. Immunizations can be given during a well-child visit.

School Immunizations:

Children entering kindergarten, or seventh grade in Utah are required to receive certain immunizations before school begins. This protects the child, and the whole community against potentially harmful diseases that can be life-threatening, especially in children and babies. Family Healthcare offers no-charge childhood vaccinations to families without health care insurance or with financial need. No child is ever turned away from receiving their immunizations. This is a proven way to ensure children grow and stay healthy.
