For Your Health: Well-child visits chance to form relationship with health care provider By Dr. Colleen Townsend, Partnership HealthPlan of California Well-child visits are a chance for parents to understand their children’s growth and development and form a relationship with the child’s primary care provider. These visits give the provider a chance to complete age-appropriate screenings, give preventive health education and review and offer immunizations. In the time of Covid-19 shelter-in-place orders, these visits may seem risky or unnecessary. Due to Covid-19, many children in Solano County missed these vital visits with their health care providers. Now more than ever, these visits are necessary to make sure your child has the most current health care and to maintain a positive relationship with the medical provider. These visits are essential to ensure children receive the services they need, including immunizations. They are a critical point of access to resources that support the growth of a healthy and balanced child.
