Happy Cinco de Mayo!
We have fun ideas to help you celebrate the day in full festive style!
It’s National Physical Fitness and Sports Month! Make sure to get out and exercise this month… well, every month would be better! Make this the month to get started exercising. It’s also time to think about school starting in the fall and whether your kiddos need physical exams and immunizations.
National Infant Immunization Week is April 25th - May 2nd. We know immunizations for infants are important and want you to have us as a resource - we are here to help you make the best, most informed choices for your children.
It’s Public Health Week and while we love that we get to celebrate this week, we know that public health should be celebrated every week! Without public health, many people would not get the access to the care and help they need.
It may seem early to think about next school year already, but spring break or early summer are the best times to get on the ball with school immunization and physical exam requirements.
*And don't forget... all SPORTS PHYSICALS are only $20! Appointments must be scheduled for these visits.
