- Newborn visits after a baby is born.
- To stay up-to-date on immunizations and well child visits.
- For hearing and vision screenings.
- To monitor growth, blood pressure, and other vital signs.
- To check labs such as for strep throat or anemia.
- To check on developmental milestones.
- To treat infections or injuries.
- Adolescent health concerns such as menstrual care or anxiety/depression screening.
- ADHD visits
