Health - Babies Through Teens

Our Health department provides topics that serve both mother and child. Mom's topics range from choosing an Ob/Gyn and such issues as high-risk pregnancy, heart disease and cancer.

Kids’ health topics cover everyday issues of diet; nutrition; check-ups for school, camp and sports; and child development. You can turn to us to find more about kids’ illnesses and diagnoses—more on mumps, measles, Rubella, chicken pox and vaccines. Be prepared by reading about those emergency issues of bike and sports injury. You’ll find a Guide to Hospitals in the Local Resources section of each of our 16 Cities.

Who are the experts to help you by assessing your child? Who can help your child with such conditions as mental retardation, autism and severe impairments?
