Back-to-School Health: Keeping Kids Ready for a Great Year

bts

Primary Care for Prevention
Annual physicals and well-child visits are key to a strong start. These appointments cover growth, development, vaccinations, and screenings that can catch health concerns early. Whether it’s vision and hearing checks, sports clearance exams, or managing conditions like asthma or allergies, our primary care team ensures your child is set up for success.

Urgent Care When You Need It
We also know that once school is in session, minor illnesses and injuries can happen at the worst times. From sore throats, ear infections, and stomach bugs to sprains and minor cuts, our urgent care team is here to provide same-day treatment—keeping your child out of the ER and back in class quickly.

Supporting Parents Too
Back-to-school isn’t just about kids—parents need care as well. From flu shots and wellness visits to stress management and weight loss support, WestsideMed is here for the whole family.

This school year, let us be your partner in health. Whether for routine check-ups or those unexpected moments, WestsideMed provides convenient, compassionate care right in your community.
