When we talk about a child’s growth, we often think first about height and weight. These are two important parts of your child’s physical health. Your child’s growth since the last visit will be measured each time you visit your Campbell County Medical Group (CCMG) provider. You can access the growth charts your provider uses on the following website: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/.

 

Your child’s health is the foundation of all growth and development. Of course, your child’s health includes more than physical growth. Some other important parts of your child’s health include their cognitive (learning and thinking) development, social and emotional growth, and mental health. All aspects of health and development work together to form your child’s overall well-being.

 

You can expect the providers at CCMG Family Clinic Hulett to answer your questions regarding your child, listen to your input, and be available. You know your child best and are their primary advocate.
