For Immediate Release
Monday, September 15, 2003
Three Neighborhood Child Health Clinics are planned for this fall. The free clinics for Dane County children and adolescents, regardless of insurance status, will be open for registration from 4 to 6 p.m. on the following days and locations:
Monday, Sept. 22 Allied Drive/Head Start 2096 Red Arrow Trail
Monday, Oct. 13 Lincoln Elem. School 909 Sequoia Trail
Monday, Nov. 17 Lincoln Elem. School 909 Sequoia Trail
The clinics will provide physical exams, dental and other screenings and immunizations. School and sports check-ups can also be completed. Anticipatory guidance will be available for parents on various subjects such as nutrition, safety education, developmental issues, and alcohol, drugs and tobacco use.
If families are receiving Medicaid (Healthy Start or Badger Care,) they are asked to bring each family member's Medicaid (Forward) card. If families have insurance that pays for preventive health services, it is best to follow-up with their provider.
No appointments are necessary, but a parent or guardian must accompany the child. Interpreter services are available at the clinics, which are sponsored by the Dane County Coalition for Neighborhood Child Health.
Questions about the clinic should be directed to Sally Zirbel-Donisch, the clinic coordinator, at 663-8424.
