Why Nationwide Children's Hospital?
What is Primary Care?
The Primary Care Network provides care to children from birth to age twenty-one at clinics across the city. Purposefully situated in underserved areas where care is needed the most, we provide a multitude of services to our patients and families:
- Well Visits and Immunizations
- Walk-in Sick Clinics (at select locations)
- Sick Visits
- Screenings (depression, hearing/vision, development, social needs, etc.)
- ADHD Management
- Social Work and Psychology services
- Blood work
- Lactation consultation (at select locations)
- ...and much more
The licensed medical staff of our Primary Care clinics are responsible for preparing the patient for their appointment by asking the parent/guardian questions to ascertain their reason for visit, take vital signs, perform screening assessments, etc. Once the provider has completed their portion of the visit, licensed medical staff carry out administering immunizations or other ordered medications, performing in-house testing, obtaining laboratory specimens, providing education, etc.
Our Primary Care staff not only provide medical care and help address social needs for the families we care for, but relationships develop over the years - you will be able to see the difference your care will make.
What is a Primary Care Float?
