Child wellness clinics are often mistaken as “immunization-only visits.” In reality, they are essential for monitoring growth, development, nutrition, and overall health.
What Happens During a Child Wellness Visit?
Each visit may include:
-
Weight, height, and head circumference measurements

Developmental milestone assessment
-
Nutrition and feeding guidance

Parental counseling and education
Why These Visits Are Important
Regular wellness visits allow early detection of:

Developmental disorders

Chronic childhood conditions
Early identification leads to early intervention, which can significantly improve long-term outcomes.
Supporting Parents
Child wellness clinics are also safe spaces for parents to ask questions, express concerns, and receive reassurance during each stage of child development.
