Abstract

Primary and secondary prevention are at the core of primary care and especially emphasized during pediatric wellness visits. The physicians of Newtown Primary Care reviewed preventative screening with parents and children, and often times, the patients with the most efficient visits had updated preventative screenings. Our purpose was to provide basic information about screening procedures that were relevant to the child that would potentially streamline the visit and reduce the patient's anxiety about the procedures that needed to be completed that day. We aimed to help educate patients about preventive health measures.
