School supplies, timetables, new shoes. The back to school checklist gets a lot of attention every August. One item that’s just as important but easy to overlook: whether your family actually has a doctor. Immunization records, school health forms, and any sick visit that comes up once classes start all go smoother with a physician who already knows your family’s history.
Continuity of Care Matters More at Back-to-School Time
Preventive care and chronic disease management both depend on continuity. A doctor who has seen your child before, knows their history, and can track things over time rather than starting fresh at a walk-in. That continuity is especially valuable in late summer, when schools are asking for updated immunization records and forms, and any illness picked up in the first weeks of school means a fast decision about where to go.
Our Partner Clinic Is Accepting New Patients
Centrum Pharmacy has helped bring 15 family physicians to the Orléans community over the years, most recently through our partnership with Orleans Family Health Clinic, a direct expression of what we mean by Connected care, one of our Four Cs. The clinic is currently accepting new patients, English and French-speaking families welcome. Their physicians provide the kind of ongoing, preventive care that’s hardest to get without a rostered doctor: routine check-ups, chronic disease management, and same-source records your family can rely on year after year.
