Su Valley Voice:  Sunshine Community Health Center Monthly Check-in and Well Child Checks 

In this episode we feature our monthly check in with Sunshine Community Health Center.  In addition to hearing updates on open positions, staff anniversaries, scheduled clinics and other bits of Clinic news, we discuss this month’s theme:  Well Child Checks.   Dr. Paul Forman calls in from the Willow Clinic to explain just what Well Child Checks are and why they are so important.   Nurse Sara Heller joins host Trisha Costello in the studio to speak about vaccinations and the important role they play in keeping children – and our communities – safe.  We also hear from kids themselves – Trapper Creek Elementary School kids – on what they do to keep themselves healthy.
