Essentia Health encourages parents to schedule well-child/teen visits during slow summer months

As families settle into summer routines, Essentia Health is encouraging parents to take advantage of the season’s added flexibility by scheduling well-child/teen visits before school, sports and activities pick back up. Annual well-child checks are an important opportunity to assess every aspect of a child’s health—from growth, cognitive and social development to mental well-being, nutrition, immunizations and injury/illness prevention. For students planning to participate in athletics, these appointments can also include a required sports physical, also known as preparticipation physical evaluations. Well-child/teen visits are recommended every year from birth through age 21. During these appointments, a pediatrician or primary care provider may: · Conduct a comprehensive physical exam. · Measure height, weight and other growth indicators. · Discuss development, behavior and school or social concerns. · Screen for mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression. · Update immunizations, including HPV, meningitis and other recommended vaccines. · Talk about nutrition, physical activity, sleep and illness prevention. · Discuss how to respond to emergencies or sudden illness. As children get older, providers may also discuss age-appropriate topics such as substance use, sexual health, peer relationships and healthy decision-making. Appointments can be scheduled directly through your child’s pediatrician or family medicine provider. You

Rural Health Transformation Program Bottlenecked By Workforce

(Bismarck, ND) — State leaders say the Rural Health Transformation Program is struggling to expand the healthcare workforce. The program is exceptionally helpful at bringing in new equipment, but the bigger challenge is finding people to staff it. One of the goals of the program is to create long-term workforce pathways. Many healthcare professions require residencies that take place out of state and far from rural communities. The Rural Health Transformation Program is looking into ways to keep those residencies in state and reduce the cost of schooling for people who want to work in rural communities.
