Back-to-School Health

As your family prepares for the new school year, you likely visit the pediatrician, dentist, and other healthcare providers. However, you may overlook the invaluable support our pharmacist can offer. Our pharmacy is here to help parents and children maintain their health and overcome sickness throughout the school year.

  • If your child needs to transport daily medication to school, our pharmacist can provide solutions to make dosing easier and more accurate for the school nurse.
  • Head lice infestations are common when kids return to the classroom and other group activities. While many commercial treatments are available, our pharmacist can recommend prevention strategies and all-natural remedies tailored to your child’s needs.
  • Dermatologic infections like ringworm and athlete’s foot, as well as eye, ear, nose, and throat infections, can easily spread as kids interact with peers. If an infection occurs, our pharmacy can provide customized treatment options to meet your child’s needs.
  • To help improve medication compliance, we can customize medications in dosage forms and flavors that children will enjoy. We can also create medications free from problem-causing excipients such as lactose, gluten, preservatives, and dyes, catering to children with special needs or allergies.
  • High-quality nutritional supplements are key to boosting children’s immune systems. Our pharmacist can discuss various options to help enhance immunity and ward off sickness.

Pharmacists play a critical role in medication education. We advise families on the proper way to take medications, how to avoid toxic substances, and how to prevent medication abuse. We are dedicated to making the back-to-school transition as smooth as possible. Our pharmacy team is available to support your family’s health needs, providing personalized care and solutions to ensure a healthy and successful school year. Visit us today to learn how we can assist you and your children.

The place to find key patient and community member notices, or answers to frequently asked questions.

Healthcare billing delays often arise from extended insurance claim processing. These insurance delays can lead to confusion and financial strain for patients, who may not receive their bill until weeks or months after care is provided, making it harder to plan financially.

At Wickenburg Community Hospital & Clinics, we strive for timely and accurate billing. However, we cannot bill our patients until the organization has received full and accurate payment from insurance companies, a process that is often protracted and beyond our control. Once we are confident that the patient’s claims are processed and paid accurately by the insurance company, then we move forward with issuing a bill to the patient. Rest assured, we are committed to clear communication and our patient’s well-being.
