Vital Pediatric Health Screenings Scheduled for Rural Wayne County
June 23, 2025 - 16:03
A free pediatric health screening event will provide essential medical care to families in rural Wayne County this week, focusing on early detection of potential health issues to enhance long-term outcomes for young children. The Get Ready to GROW Program is set to host these screenings for children aged one to five on Wednesday, June 25, at Cuyler Elementary School.
This initiative aims to address the healthcare gap often faced by families in rural areas, where access to medical services can be limited. By offering these screenings at no cost, the program seeks to ensure that children receive the necessary check-ups and assessments to identify any developmental or health concerns early on.
Parents are encouraged to bring their children to this important event, which not only promotes health awareness but also provides families with valuable resources and information about ongoing healthcare options. The community's involvement in such programs is vital for fostering a healthier future for its youngest members.
