📚✏️ Back-to-school season is almost here!

Before the first day of school, make sure your child is ready for a healthy and successful year by scheduling their school or sports physical.

A physical is more than just a requirement—it gives your provider the opportunity to:
✔️ Monitor your child’s growth and development
✔️ Review immunizations
✔️ Address any health concerns
✔️ Ensure your child is ready to participate in school and sports activities

Appointments fill quickly as the school year approaches, so don’t wait until the last minute.

📞 Call McGowan Family Health and Wellness Center today to schedule your child’s appointment. We look forward to helping your family start the school year healthy and ready to learn!

🌡️ Chicago is experiencing dangerously high temperatures—don’t underestimate the heat.

Extreme heat can affect anyone, but young children, older adults, and those with chronic health conditions are especially at risk.

Remember to:
💧 Drink plenty of water.
🏠 Stay in a cool, air-conditioned place when possible.
☀️ Limit outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Check in on family members, friends, and neighbors who may need assistance.

If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, nausea, rapid heartbeat, or fainting, move to a cool place and seek medical attention immediately.

A few simple precautions can go a long way in keeping you and your loved ones safe. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care of one another this summer.

When was your last annual physical?

Many chronic conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, can develop without noticeable symptoms. Annual wellness visits allow your provider to assess your overall health, discuss any concerns, review medications, and help you stay on track with preventive care.

Taking one hour each year for a physical can make a significant difference in your long-term health.
