Preventive Health Maintenance

Health habits formed during childhood have a profound impact on one’s well-being for his/her entire life. At Casper Children’s Center, we want your family to start out healthy (Breast is Best!), and STAY that way for as long as possible. The information included here will help you with the keys to a healthy life, including information on diet, nutrition, exercise, stress management, natural remedies and healing, preventive medicine, holistic approaches, and other tools for a vital existence.

We hope this information will stimulate dialogue, and encourage you to discuss these – and other – ideas with your doctor, your family members, and others.

Physician Exam Schedule

The enclosed schedule was adapted from, and complies with, the recommendations for screenings, laboratory evaluations, and immunizations published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Vaccination Schedules

Every parent wants to protect and nurture his/her children to adulthood – and keeping them current with recommended vaccinations is an important step in achieving that goal. Every year, the CDC publishes its recommended vaccination schedule for each age group, the American Academy of Pediatrics issues its recommendation, and the State of Wyoming provides its input as well. (There are alternative vaccine schedules out there, too.) These recommended vaccines are SAFE, effective in preventing disease and are the easiest, most important single thing YOU can do for your child. Casper Children’s Center follows the AAP recommendations, and we are happy to discuss any and all vaccination topics with you in an objective and informational manner at any time.

Developmental Milestones

The best way to gauge if your baby is developing normally is to watch for Developmental Milestones. These are things you should observe your baby doing based on his/her age. (If your baby was born prematurely, be sure to correct for his/her gestational age! See NICU-PEDIA for more information. ) Remember that these are guidelines, and every baby develops based on his/her individual characteristics. If you have any concerns, please be sure talk to us about them.
