The health of our children involves encouraging them to eat healthy foods, making sure they get enough exercise and sleep, and ensuring their safety. It is also important for children to get regular checkups with their healthcare provider. At Legacy, we work with families to keep children healthy.
We provide school and sports physicals in addition to regular checkups and physical examinations to help your child grow up healthy and strong. Our doctors can diagnosis and treat common childhood illnesses like earaches, sore throats, chickenpox, asthma, and skin rashes. And if your child has special health needs, our doctors can work with you and provide referrals to outside specialists.
All services are available on a sliding fee scale based on your annual income.
We also accept Medicaid, Medicare and many health insurance plans.
