The Clay County DOH reminds parents that it provides year-round services, including:
- Primary Health Care Services
- Immunizations
- Disease Screening
- Birth Certificates
Health officials also encourage Clay County parents to make sure their children are getting back into a routine before school starts on Aug. 10.
That includes:
- Healthy Eating: Proper nutrition is essential for children to grow and develop. Focus on fruits, vegetables and protein. Limit sugar, saturated fats and processed foods.
- Regular exercise: Encourage your child to be physically active for 60 minutes or more each day, like active play at the park or organized sports.
- Getting enough sleep: Sleep is just as important to your children’s development as nutrition and physical activity. Recommended sleep by age: 3-5 years (10-13 hours); 6-12 years (9-12 hours); 13-18 years (8-10 hours).
