Area clinic extends pediatric well-check availability

Busy parents and kids can now get a well-check on weekday evenings and weekends.

Beginning Aug. 1, Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) Pediatrics extended its well-check availability to include appointments on weekday evenings and weekends at all five ARC After Hours Clinics, for added patient and parent convenience.

Pediatric well-checks are more than just a physical exam, they are an opportunity to ensure children grow into healthy young adults, physically, mentally and emotionally. Well-checks include needed vaccinations for potentially fatal diseases, such as measles and pertussis, which are required for children to enter school.
