For a limited time: FREE medical services for children at the SW Health Clinic

Does your child fall in the insurance gap? In other words, does your child neither qualify for Medicare/Medicaid nor receive private insurance coverage? If so, we have funding to provide basic physicals and basic dental checkups and services for children at the clinic. This funding is only for children, and the services must be performed at the SW Health Clinic. Visit the SW Health Clinic page to learn more.

This month’s Community Board topic: Child Abuse Prevention

Many thanks to intern Rose Termidor for the April bulletin board for National Child Abuse Prevention Month!

The most important thing we can do is support families all year long by promoting and building on their strengths. This enables families to care for their children safely before maltreatment is even a possibility.

Some protective factors include parental resilience, nurturing and attachment, knowledge of parent and child development, concrete support in time of need, and social connections. HERE is a calendar with examples and ways to implement these preventative factors.

Finally, do you have small children at home? If so, call 352-505-6823 to ask a staff member about child safety items and equipment.
