Child and Adolescent Wellness Workgroup 5 years, 11 months agoThanks for the invitation to join this group. Very excited to be a part of helping adolescents be and stay healthy. Has anyone considered having student representation on this committee? Having input from students could shed additional light on issues, concerns and roadblocks.

Adolescent Well Child Checks 6 years agoThis is a Medicaid document containing strategies for improving the uptake and quality of adolescent well child visits.
