Homework for Parents – Your Back-to-School Health Checklist
F
or busy, working parents, getting the family
ready for back‑to‑school activities can be
time‑consuming, expensive and, at times,
overwhelming – leaving little room for error. To start
this school year off on the right foot, families should
be ready for anything when it comes to health and
wellness. AFC Urgent Care/Family Care is the best way
to prepare for the school year and a great resource for
unexpected injuries and illnesses.
“There is no way for a family to predict the future,
but having a plan in place can make emergency
and immediate medical needs less stressful when
they arise,” said Alison Kliber, M.D. “Most urgent care
centers are equipped to provide a wide array of
services for a variety of minor illnesses and injuries
when families need it most.”
As schedules get busier, it is important to have
key health care information on hand just in case the
unexpected happens. AFC Urgent Care/Family Care
has compiled a few helpful tips to keep area families
healthy and happy.
• Get vaccinations and physicals early so the
paperwork is ready before school activities
begin.
• Identify health care options in the area that can handle sudden
illnesses or injuries near the school, home and work.
• Make sure to identify health care resources that offer hours
convenient for the family’s schedules.
• Confirm what insurance is accepted at the local health care
providers ahead of time.
• Review the range of services provided to understand all the
options.
With availability seven days a week (8‑8), AFC Urgent Care/Family
Care offers access to a physician at times that are convenient to you.
At AFC Urgent Care, you always see a doctor…Always!
“Whether it’s for bumps
and bruises, vaccinations,
sports physicals or other
injuries or illnesses, it’s
important for Shaler
Township families to
have a high‑quality
health care option that
is comprehensive and
affordable,” said Dr. Vince Morreale, owner of AFC Urgent Care. “AFC
Urgent Care was designed for busy families with tight budgets in
mind, making sure health concerns are taken care of faster than
seeing a primary care physician, at a fraction of the cost of an ER visit.”
AFC Urgent Care offers a lower cost health care option for families
concerned with the increasing cost of health care. In fact, most
insurance companies feature lower patient co‑pays for urgent care
service than treatment in an emergency room, making urgent care
the more affordable option for immediate, non‑life threatening
situations.
