Getting your child ready for back-to-school involves a lot.
But remember to prioritize your child’s health amid all that back-to-school business.
“I’m a parent myself, so I understand how busy the start of school season can be,” said SouthCoast Health pediatrician and mom Dr. Jami Scanlon (pictured) “But in the hustle-and-bustle it’s crucial to put health-related check-ups at the top of the to-do list, as it will set the tone for your child’s entire school year.”
With this in mind, SouthCoast Health put together four key health reminders for parents this back-to-school season. See the four key health reminders here.
