Wellness Checkups
An annual checkup can be useful for adults, children, and teens to discuss health problems with their doctor. For children, these visits are a time for their doctor to check on their well-being, measure their growth, and discuss the recommended immunizations. But adults and teens can benefit from a checkup, too.
Wellness Visits
Adults
Checkups aren’t just for kids. Choosing a primary care doctor you trust—and seeing them once a year for a preventive exam—is a great way to get the care you need. A primary care doctor can manage chronic conditions, coordinate care, and discuss a variety of health issues in one appointment.
It’s also helpful to have an established primary care doctor when you get sick or need to see your doctor quickly, and to get preventive care.
Children
When you take your child to visit the pediatrician, but your kiddo isn’t sick, those visits are called well-child checks or wellness visits. These yearly exams help keep your child healthy from birth throughout their development years. They’re a great time to:
- Start a medical record history
- Get physical exams
- Catch problems early
- Check eyesight and developmental milestones
- Get vaccinations
- Learn about nutrition, safety, and special needs
- Screen for exposure to lead (12-24 months)
Teens
Teenagers may benefit from a yearly checkup, too. Your teen's doctor can offer advice about their health on topics such as:
- Proper nutrition
- Physical activity recommendations
- Physical, social, and emotional development
- Screening tests, such as hearing and vision exams
- Injury prevention, sports safety, seat belts, helmets, and firearm safety
- Substance abuse (tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs)
- Peer pressure and social media
