Central California Alliance for Health | Living Healthy | June 2022

Back-to-school immunizations The start of a new school year is almost here, and your child may need to be vaccinated before going back to school. Now is a great time to start planning for the next school year! You can start by calling your child’s doctor. Ask what vaccines your child needs and schedule an appointment. Appointments can be scheduled ahead of time, so call your child’s doctor today. Quality, awardwinning care for your child The Alliance is committed to meeting your child’s health care needs! Almost half of Alliance members are children and youth. We believe it is important to set children up for success so they can be as healthy as possible. The Alliance network offers: ■ High-quality care by your child’s doctor. ■ Excellent customer service. ■ Access to timely and needed care. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) recognized the Alliance with an award for outstanding children’s care in 2021. Our award-winning care for kids includes: ■ Well-child visits to check on your child’s overall health, growth and development. ■ Health education and disease-management classes in areas like weight management, diabetes and asthma. ■ Access to our 24/7 Nurse Advice Line. If your child is sick, you can call 844-971-8907 (TTY: Dial 7-1-1) to talk to a nurse. ■ Health andWellness Rewards for taking your child to the doctor for routine care. For example, when your child completes required immunizations, you could be entered into a raffle to win a Target gift card. Want to find out more about health care for your child?
