Attention parents. There are a lot of reasons to take your child to the doctor. But you may not be aware of the importance of well child visits with the doctor. These should occur periodically throughout the first 2 years, and every year thereafter through at least age 6. During these visits, the doctor uses various methods to test your child's development.
Mother’s day is this Sunday, and if you are still trying to figure out what to get your mom, St. John’s has a gift in mind. It’s a gift certificate for a mammogram. Yes, it may sound strange, but think about this. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among U.S. women, and is the number 2 cause of women's cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society recommends annual screening mammograms for all women aged 40 and older who are in good health. But some doctors are targeting women in their 30’s. So why not give mom something that could keep her around for many years to come. Give the gift of health. For more information, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
