Important Health News - August

National Immunization Awareness Month


When you go through "Immunization", it means you become immune to a disease. Becoming immune means you can't get the disease anymore!


Why Immunization?

  • Prevent Illness
  • Spend less time sick
  • Strengthen the immune system
  • More cost-effective than treating illness once contracted
  • Immunizations are often necessary for school attendance, college admission or traveling abroad


We now have vaccines to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, helping children and adults live longer, healthier lives. CHDC offers immunization services! To learn more, Click Here.

Children's Eye Health & Safety Month


It’s an important time for parents to stay on top of their children’s eye health! In the U.S., approximately 6.8% of children younger than 18 years have a diagnosed eye and vision condition. CHDC Optometrist, Dr. Chen, explains common eye conditions in children and the importance of routine eye exams:

Busy weekdays? No problem! CHDC offers vision appointments on select Saturdays to accommodate busy parents. To schedule your child's vision appointment, call 610-326-9460.
