Well child visits (or check ups) are important, even when children are healthy. Well child check ups will help to keep your child healthy. During a well-child visit, we will evaluate your child's general health, growth and development. We will also give you information and give your child needed medical services, such as:

• Health exams
• Tests, such as vision, hearing and lab services
• Shots (vaccinations)
• Lead screening (children under 3 years or as needed for older children)
• Tracking growth and development
• Medical referrals to specialists, if needed
