The Well Child Check is how you can keep your child healthy and safe. It’s a regular appointment that combines examination, testing, screening, and immunizations. By keeping up on your Well Child Checks, you and your provider can keep track of how your child’s physical, emotional, and social development.

Dental Visits

You can schedule a dental appointment at OCH, too! Remember to schedule a cleaning when your child has their first tooth.

Behavioral Health

If needed, our providers may recommend a same-day visit with one of our behavioral health specialists while you’re at the clinic.

MyChart

MyChart gives you access to visit details, prescription refills, and so much more. When your child turns 12, you will need to complete an additional form to retain access. Check out our myChart page for everything you need to know.
