Preventive Care

What is preventive care for children?

Preventive care focuses on keeping your child healthy and identifying potential concerns before they become more serious. Rather than waiting until your child is sick, regular preventive visits allow your Assured Pediatrics provider to monitor their health, growth, development, and overall well-being. 

These visits also allow you to ask questions and discuss concerns about your child’s nutrition, sleep, behavior, activity level, and other aspects of their health.

Why is preventive care important for my child?

Children grow and change quickly, so their health needs can change, too. Regular preventive care helps your child’s provider track their development and recognize changes that may require additional attention. 

Preventive visits also provide an opportunity to keep your child’s immunizations current, discuss healthy habits, and address concerns early. When you stay consistent with your child’s recommended pediatric care, the Assured Pediatrics team can monitor and support their health throughout their childhood and adolescence.

What do preventive services provide?

Assured Pediatrics offers a range of preventive pediatric services that support your child’s health at every stage of development. Services may include:

• Well-child visits
• Physicals
• Immunizations
• Growth and developmental monitoring
• Health and wellness guidance
• Routine screenings and assessments

Your pediatric professional can help you understand your child’s preventive care needs and recommend appropriate services based on their age, health history, and individual needs.

What can make preventive care more convenient? 

Assured Pediatrics combines a proprietary telehealth platform with a mobile clinic to make pediatric care easier to access. You can connect with a provider virtually when appropriate to discuss your child’s health, ask questions, and learn what type of care your child may need. 

During a telehealth visit, you can learn whether your child needs an in-person appointment and what to expect next.

When your child needs hands-on care, the mobile clinic brings pediatric services closer to you, helping reduce the time and travel involved with a traditional office visit. This flexible model can make it easier to keep up with your child’s preventive care, even when your family has a busy schedule.

To schedule a preventive care appointment for your child, call the friendly staff today to book a visit, whether using telehealth or the mobile clinic option.
