Don’t Skip Your Check-Ups! Why Summer is a Great Time for Annual Visits

Summer is more than just a break from school – it’s an ideal time to prioritize your family’s health. With more flexible schedules and fewer academic commitments, summer offers the perfect opportunity to catch up on routine healthcare appointments. At Brevard Health Alliance (BHA), we encourage families to take advantage of this season to schedule annual wellness visits, ensuring everyone is on track for a healthy year ahead. 

Why Schedule a Summer Health Checkup? 

1. Flexible Scheduling

During the summer months, our clinics often experience lighter traffic, making it easier to book appointments that fit your family’s schedule.  

2. Preparation for the Upcoming School Year

Annual wellness visits are essential for meeting school requirements, including sports physicals and immunizations. By scheduling these appointments during the summer, you can avoid the last-minute rush and ensure your child is ready for the new academic year. 

3. Comprehensive Health Monitoring

Wellness visits provide an opportunity to assess your child’s growth, development, and overall health. These check-ups are crucial for early detection of potential health issues and for discussing topics like nutrition, sleep habits, and preventive care strategies.
