Child Health and Disability Prevention Program contracts with medical providers who provide complete health assessments for the early detection and prevention of the diseases and disabilities in children and youth. A complete health assessment includes a growth and development check; all needed shots and lab tests; a dental, vision, and hearing screening; and appropriate health education information. If medical problems are found during the visit, children are referred for additional medical services. The program staff members work collaboratively with health care providers to ensure that eligible children receive quality health care. They also assist families with finding a primary care physician and dentist.
