In accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations for regular well-child appointments for all children, RVNA offers Well Child Clinics every August for young people from birth to age 18. The Clinics are open to all, but are especially intended for families who do not have health insurance, or whose insurance does not cover annual physicals and immunizations.
RVNA’s 2018 Well Child Clinics will take place on Wednesday, August 8th with Jay D’Orso, M.D., of Western Connecticut Health Network and on August 15th with Anil Britto, M.D., of Ridgefield Pediatrics. The clinics are held onsite at RVNA at 27 Governor Street in Ridgefield from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
“Our annual Well-Child clinics are at the core of RVNA’s mission,” says Theresa Santoro, President & CEO, “and we are very grateful to Dr. Britto and Dr. D’Orso for sharing their time and expertise, and partnering with RVNA to offer the highest quality health care to our youngest community members.”
Annual physicals with pediatricians are vital for keeping young people at their healthiest by monitoring growth and development; preventing diseases through immunizations; providing an opportunity to discuss concerns that may have arisen since the last visit; and by forming a healthy partnership between patient, parent and doctor.
