For Parents
Parents and guardians are welcome to come to their child’s appointment, but it is not required. Our providers can see your child as long as you have provided consent.
When your child sees the nurse practitioner, staff will attempt to reach you to provide an update by calling the number on the consent form. Additionally, a document called an After Visit Summary (AVS) will be sent home with your child. The AVS will describe the services provided and any recommended follow-up, if needed.
Consent Form
A parent or guardian must provide consent for your child to be seen by the provider.
