Getting kids ready to go back to school? Be sure this is on your list.
Whether your child is going to school in person or sticking to a virtual schedule, one of the most important boxes to check off the back-to-school checklist is a visit with the doctor.
 
Annual visits are a great opportunity to have a non-intimidating experience with your child’s doctor.

Visitation restrictions return
Until our rate of new COVID-19 cases drops back down, no visitors are allowed in the hospital or clinic with few exceptions, for example, for labor and delivery, end-of-life, and pediatric patients. Family/partner participation during visits using video chat technology is welcomed and encouraged.
 
These restrictions are challenging for everyone, and we appreciate your cooperation as we work together to reduce the spread. To continue to actively reduce these numbers, vaccination against COVID-19 is easily available throughout town.
