COUNTYWIDE : Free Child Growth Screenings Offered
Is your child the right size for his or her age?
Learn the answer during a free screening of your child’s growth and development today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Childrens Hospital of Orange County.
A pediatric nurse will perform height, weight and blood pressure checks and provide educational materials on child development.
Many parents are unaware that treatment is available for children with growth problems, said experts from the Human Growth Foundation, a group that studies these maladies.
Sometimes growth disorders can be treated with a change in diet, foundation officials said. The free screening will be held on the second floor of the Medical Education Center in CHOC West, 455 S. Main St., Orange, on the corner of Main and La Veta Ave.
