Pediatrics

Our pediatrics team consists of a pediatrician and a pediatric nurse practitioner who provide care and consultation to patients from birth to the age of 21.

Well-child visits may be scheduled throughout the week by appointment with individual CAIHC providers.

For a healthy start in life, your baby needs regular check-ups and immunizations. It is important to offer these services, as well as counseling and support for parents.

Generally, children should have well child visits at the following ages:

  • 1 week
  • 6 weeks or 2 months
  • at 4, 6, 9,12, 15, and 18 months 
  • 2 years
  • 4 – 6 years
  • 1 – 14 years

In order for your child to receive services with us, you must come with them. Children under 18 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian.

Some important things to remember:

  • Only a parent or legal guardian can authorize medical or dental treatment. We cannot treat your child without your consent, except for suspected child abuse, without a CAIHC written consent form. 
  • When you cannot come to the clinic with your child, you must give an official written consent for your child to receive medical care.
