For health and safety reasons, please do not bring children less than 10 years of age with you unless they are scheduled to receive medical care, as we do not have personnel to adequately supervise them while the patient is being seen. If you bring children with you to your appointment, children under 10 may remain in the clinic waiting area if supervised by an adult who is not on duty for the 18 MDG. Family members of any age may accompany the patient, but small children should be restrained in a child-stroller or child seat in the treatment area. Parents/guardians will be responsible and liable for the safety of their children. We may require you to cancel and reschedule the appointment if compliance cannot be met. We highly encourage you to use a certified childcare provider, the Child Development Center, or leave your children with your spouse or trusted friend.
