Community Memorial reminds parents to add well-child visits this summer

Photo: Health professionals at Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton and its five family health centers want to remind parents and guardians to include an annual well-child visit or a sport physical to their summer plans. New York State Department of Education requires an annual well-child visit for all students pre-K through 11th grade and all student athletes. Above from left, CMH Auxiliary members Valorie Rathbone and Susan Stradling-Barrett assemble school kits for area students for their well-child visit. During the visit, there is an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns about a child with a physician. The annual well-child visit is also the time to update a child’s immunizations. To schedule a visit at one of the five family health centers, call 315-824-4600 or visit CommunityMemorial.org/family-health-centers/.
