While the sun is still high and summer is in full swing, it’s never too early to start planning ahead. As we enjoy warm days, community events, and family gatherings, now is the perfect time to begin thinking about what’s around the corner—fall.
Back-to-School Health Prep
For families with school-age children, fall means back-to-school season. Be sure to schedule your child’s sports physicals and annual wellness visits now—appointments fill up fast in August and early September. Getting in early helps avoid the last-minute rush and ensures your child is ready for all school-related activities. Immunization updates, vision and hearing screenings, and dental check-ups can all be done now to set your kids up for a healthy start to the school year.
Seasonal Check-Ins
Fall is also a great time to reassess your personal and family health goals. With cooler weather approaching, it may be the right moment to follow up on chronic conditions, refill medications, or check in on mental wellness. Reach out to your UIHS provider to get ahead on preventive care or ongoing treatment needs.
Fun Things to Look Forward To
Even as we soak in the joys of summer, fall brings its own highlights:
- The UIHS 55-Year Anniversary Celebration in October, full of cultural events and community pride
- Harvest gatherings and traditional food celebrations
- Community walks and hikes in the crisp fall air
- Flu shot clinics to keep your family protected during cold and flu season
By looking ahead now, we can help make the transition into fall a smooth and healthy one for all UIHS clients. Call your local clinic today to book your appointments—and keep an eye on our events calendar
for all the great things coming this fall!
