It provides a group of services to children and teens (birth through age 20) which include: prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of HealthChek is to discover and treat health problems early. These services are marketed as HealthChek to parents as a set of preventive health screenings with follow-up diagnosis and treatment.

  • vision screening 
  • dental screening
