Why get health check-ups?

Health check-ups are important for all children and youth. Health check-ups are a time to:

• Find and address medical, dental and behavioral health problems
• Get needed shots
• Ask your doctor questions

 Health check-ups can also be used for foster care, sports, camp or school entry as needed.

What Does CHDP offer?

The CHDP program helps to prevent or find health problems through regular, no cost health check-ups. A check-up includes:

• Health and developmental history
• Physical exam
• Needed shots
• Oral health screening and routine referral to a dentist starting by age 1
• Nutrition screening
• Behavioral screening
• Vision and hearing screenings
• Health information
• Lab tests that may include: anemia, lead, TB and other problems
• Referral to Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program for children up to age 5.

 Babies and Toddlers - birth through 3 years

Regular check-ups can keep you baby happy and healthy. You can find out about your baby's growth, weight and  health, and needed shots are given. At 1 year and 2 years, your baby should be tested for lead. A test for anemia is also given. Your child should see a dentist at least once a year starting by age 1.

 School Children - 4 through 12 years

It is important to make sure your child is healthy and ready for school. State laws

require children to be up-to-date on their shots and get a health check-up.

School children will also get vision and hearing screenings. If your child has not had a lead test before, he/she should have one by age 6 or before. Your child should see a dentist at least once a year.

 Teens and Young Adults - 13 through 20 years

 Teens need health check-ups too! This is a chance to make sure your teen is growing and  developing well. Is is also a time for you or your teen to ask the doctor any questions. Extra health check-ups can be given for sport and camp physicals. Your child should see a dentist at least once a year.
