Checkups / Physicals

Annual physicals are recommended for children and adults of all ages. Children entering kindergarten and the sixth and ninth grades also are required by law to have one before beginning school. At VNA, both you and your child can walk in for a well visit anytime during health center hours (no appointment needed). Appointments can also be made in advance.

Checkups for Infants and Toddlers

You’ll need to make 11 important well visits with your new baby during the first two years of life. At these visits, your baby will:

• Receive Important Vaccinations
• Be Screened For Developmental Milestones
• Have Hemoglobin And Lead Levels Checked

Well visits are also a good time to talk to your provider about health issues for your baby such as:

• Nutrition
• Sleep Patterns
• Infant Safety

Checkups and Physicals for Children

After age two, VNA recommends that your child visit their doctor once a year for a check-up. A physical is required before your child enters kindergarten, sixth grade and ninth grade. Your child also might need additional vaccinations at these visits. VNA Providers can also assist with sports physicals.

Checkups for Adults

VNA recommends that all adults have a check-up once a year. Regular health exams and screenings can help find problems early which improve treatment choices and outcomes. By getting the right health services, screenings and treatments, you take steps toward living a longer, healthier life.
