Well-Child Checkups

Regular well-child checkups are essential for supporting your child's growth and development, especially in the first 18 months of life. These appointments allow our pediatric care team to monitor your child's progress and address any concerns early on. To prepare for your child's upcoming well-child check, please complete the Ages and Stages Questionnaire:

What vaccines does your child need?

Use this interactive guide to figure out which shots your child needs next.

Children need vaccines to help prevent a whole range of diseases. And parents may need a little help figuring out which vaccines are needed when.

Here's a schedule of routine childhood vaccines from birth through 18 years old. Special circumstances—such as health conditions, international travel or a missed dose—may affect vaccine recommendations. Your doctor is your best resource for any questions you have.

Protect your child from COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe for kids age 6 months and older. It can help them avoid getting very sick from the coronavirus.

Same-Day Sick Visits

We understand that illness can arise unexpectedly. That's why we offer same-day sick visits on a first-come, first-served basis. These appointments are built into our daily schedule for illness or other non-emergent urgent care needs. While these visits are designed to address immediate concerns, we encourage parents to continue scheduling well-child appointments in advance with their primary care provider to ensure ongoing health and wellness.

After-Hours Care

For your convenience, we also offer after-hours care. If your child needs medical attention outside of our regular business hours, on-call staff are available by calling the Grande Ronde Hospital (GRH) main line at 541.963.8421.

Breastfeeding Support

Bringing home a new baby can come with questions and concerns about breastfeeding. The GRH Lactation Consulting & Breastfeeding Support program, led by International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Emily Wheeler, is here to support you every step of the way. Learn more about our Lactation Services.

Free Friday Clinic

No child should go without the care they need. For children without health insurance, we offer the Free Friday Clinic. This service provides access to pediatric care by appointment every Friday morning until noon. Please call us for more information and to set up an appointment.

Because of our highly trained staff; state-of-the-art equipment; and commitment to the patient-centered, primary care medical home model, we can meet more of your child's medical and behavioral health needs than ever before.
