A Yearly Well Visit Can Support Your Child's Health

It is important to take your child for a well visit (also called a checkup) with their primary care provider (PCP) every year — even if your child seems healthy. HPSM members get these well visits at no cost. During the well visit, your child's PCP will:

  • Give you a chance to ask questions or share any concerns you may have about your child
  • Examine your child and update their health history
  • Track your child’s growth and development
  • Offer health screenings and vaccines based on your child’s age
  • Make a plan to address health concerns
  • Share tips and advice to keep your child healthy

Call your child’s PCP and schedule a well visit!
