The staff also teaches anemia and lead prevention techniques. These older children receive routine screening of vision, hearing, blood pressure, language, and development. When problems are detected, referrals for early intervention can then be made before school age.

School-age children are routinely examined every one to two years for school and camp physicals. Teenagers are screened for sports participation. They are also counseled on age-appropriate issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, and the hazards of smoking.
