Medical Center
It is important for everyone to go to the doctor and dentist regularly for checkups and to learn ways to keep healthy. When sick or injured, they examine us and provide treatments and recommendations. Hospitals are there when we need more care. Other healthcare providers like therapists, blood technicians, and nutritionists also take part in keeping us healthy and strong. Use the tools and resources in the Medical Center to prepare for healthcare visits and to learn more about being healthy and safe.
