New Program, Headed by Dr.
Under the leadership of Dr.
Studies show that children miss between 30% to 50% of well-child visits, despite the important benefits associated with attending these visits, such as reduced emergency department use and fewer hospitalizations. Common reasons for missed well visits include lack of transportation, difficulty taking time off from work, and lack of childcare.
This program utilizes an innovative combination of telehealth services and on-site nursing support to deliver convenient and comprehensive preventive pediatric care. Important healthcare information gleaned from Well Child Visits will be shared with the patient’s primary care provider or pediatrician to inform and enhance ongoing care plans, ensuring continuity and comprehensive management of the child's health needs.
"At DocGo, we are committed to leveraging our advanced technology and mobile health expertise to develop innovative programs that address pain points in the healthcare industry,” said
"Preventative healthcare is crucial for the healthy development of children. By bringing these services directly to patients' homes, we are closing significant gaps in care and making it easier for families to access the essential health services their children need,” said Dr.

The Well Child Visits program marks a significant step forward in ensuring that children receive the preventative care they need, particularly those who may have been previously overlooked.
