It may be spring in Southeast Wisconsin, but summer—and the back-to-school season—will be here before you know it.

Now is the perfect time to get ahead of the rush and schedule Well-Child Visits (physicals) and immunizations for the upcoming school year.

Pillar Health and Kenosha Community Health Center (KCHC) offer appointments across all our clinic locations, including Kenosha and Silver Lake, to help you prepare your child for the next school year—without the last-minute stress.

What’s Included in a Well-Child Visit

Well-child visits help keep your child on track for a healthy school year. These comprehensive checkups include:

  • Required school physicals, including evaluation for sports (as needed)
  • Immunizations according to state guidelines
  • Developmental screenings
  • Updated health history forms
  • Wellness guidance and preventive care

State-required immunizations include MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis/whooping cough), Polio, Hepatitis B, Varicella (chickenpox) and Meningitis (grades 7 and 12). A history of chickenpox virus is also accepted. Schools also require a health history at enrollment and regular updates for conditions like asthma, diabetes, allergies, or other chronic health concerns.
