Wellness event at Stephen Center focuses on young people
It takes a village to care for children and youth, and this spring OneWorld teamed up with Stephen Center and Creighton residents and students to provide that extra support. Thanks to a wellness event at Stephen Center, eight young people – ranging in age from 8 to 15 – completed Well-Child Checks. They also received
shots to bring them up to date on immunizations. In addition to children receiving checkups, several adults made plans for medical appointments. Stephen Center is a shelter for individuals to overcome homelessness and addiction. OneWorld has had a clinic at the center since 2022 and offers primary care services.
Cross the Well-Child Check off your list A recent metro-area health needs assessment showed that 8% of children did not have their annual wellness check. These checks help make sure growth and development is on track, while screening for any issues that might not be apparent. Annual checks are also the perfect time to make sure immunizations are current, including the MMR vaccine that protects against measles and the HPV vaccine. To cross this appointment off your to-do list, schedule an appointment by calling or texting (402) 880-4870.
