Preventive care aims to protect children from illness and health complications before they arise. Through regular wellness visits, immunizations, screenings, and lifestyle counseling, we help families create a foundation for long-term well-being.
At COVA Pediatrics, we believe that the best medicine is preventive medicine. Our goal is to keep your child healthy, active, and out of the hospital. Preventive care encompasses a wide range of services designed to catch potential health issues early, when they are most treatable. This includes routine blood work (like anemia or lead screening), vision, cholesterol checks for older children, and sports physicals. We also focus on lifestyle counseling, promoting healthy habits around screen time, physical activity, and emotional well-being to ensure long-term wellness.
A preventive visit focuses on overall health, growth, screenings, and education when your child is healthy. A sick visit is focused on diagnosing and treating a specific, acute illness or injury.
Yes. We offer comprehensive physical exams to ensure your child is physically fit and safe to participate in organized sports, summer camps, and school activities.
Depending on age, we screen for anemia, lead exposure, high cholesterol, depression, and developmental delays.
