Good Health Helps Lead to Academic Success & Happy Families

Don’t let the upcoming school year stress you out. Central Florida Health Care, with its conveniently located facilities, ensures your child or children are ready for a successful and healthy start. Did you know we have several facilities that offer pediatric care, making it easier for you to access our services?

Maggie Gaa, a family nurse practitioner with Central Florida Health Care says now is the ideal time for your child to have their annual checkup or sports physical. Ensure your child’s vaccinations are up to date. While this is usually done during the annual checkup, you can always call the office to confirm the next vaccine your child needs if you’re unsure.

Maggie advises that children receive the flu vaccine as soon as it’s available. The start of the school year also marks the beginning of flu season, and getting vaccinated is the best way to protect your family’s health. By taking this proactive step, you’re ensuring your child’s well-being during the flu season.

Organization can help prevent stress. Making lists of needed supplies, upcoming appointments, and after-school activities, like sports, can help you prioritize tasks and your upcoming schedule.

Life can be overwhelming for students as they get older, taking on the pressures of academics, socialization, and juggling many classes. Make sure you communicate with your child to make sure they are okay. Central Florida Health Care provides behavioral health services for kids age 6 and older. Talking to a counselor can also help parents who feel overwhelmed seeing their child having difficulties in school. Remember, it is okay to feel overwhelmed, but talking to someone can help provide support and relief.

CFHC is here to help you, providing not just medical care but also support and guidance. We wish students a prosperous, healthy year full of laughter, good grades, and a year of making happy memories. Remember, we’re here for you every step of the way. We’re health care with a heart!
