Free "Well Baby Clinic"

Once a month the Gila County Helth Department offers a "Well Baby Clinic" for the children of Gila County. It's designed for children from birth through 24 months of age. There is no cost for these services & is a great opportunity for those families who do not have insurance, cannot afford their insurance's co-pay, or those with a child that do not have a regular physician.

The clinic helps to promote wellness by providing immunizations & a physician who examines the child. Visits are scheduled at 2, 4, 6, 12, & 15 - 18 months of age. Parents can obtain information regarding their child's growth and development, as well as discuss any concerns they may have regarding their child with the medical staff.

Parents interested in enrolling their child in the program need to contact the Health Dept. at (928) 402-8811.
