Why Is This Important?
While most children enjoy good health, they do need access to regular health care, as well as access to special services when acute or chronic conditions occur. Children grow and develop at rapid rates, placing them at particular risk of being affected by illness and injury. If health problems are not identified and treated, they can affect a child's cognitive, physical, behavioral, and emotional development.
