Our Services
Sunflower Rural Health Clinic Pediatrics offers comprehensive pediatric care from birth to 17 years of age including:
Wellness Child Visits
Regular wellness exams are a critical part of keeping your child healthy. During these wellness exams, your pediatrician sets aside a longer appointment time to give your child a complete physical exam. This is also the time to assess your child’s growth, provide scheduled immunizations, address concerns with behavior, nutrition, and many other developmental concerns that are difficult to address during their acute sick visits.
Wellness child visits are vital to the health and well-being of your child. Contact us today to schedule your child’s next exam.

Preventative Care
Preventive services are designed to help keep your child from becoming sick in the first place. A few example of preventative services we offer are:
flu shots and immunizations
counseling on nutrition, exercise, limiting social media/tv/video games, family dynamics
screenings for health conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and depression
Sports Physicals
We encourage childhood involvement in memorable childhood activities such as sports. Involvement in these activities often means your child will need a complete physical exam from the pediatrician to be able to participate. These physicals can be done in conjunction with your child’s annual wellness exam but do require additional forms that the doctor must complete and sign.
Please bring your “MS Athletic Participation Form can be linked here” with you to your appointment so the physician can complete them in a timely manner and address any concerns regarding the activity your child will be taking part in.
Acute Illness/Sick Visits
We offer same day sick appointments 5 days a week.
Immunizations
We follow recommended American Academy of Pediatric guidelines for childhood immunizations. Click here for our “vaccine schedule and vaccine policy can be linked here“.
