When your child isn't feeling well, you'll want to know how to recognize the symptoms, how to help, and when to call the doctor. On January 22, Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare is holding the, “Your Healthy Child” program, a health forum presented by a panel of professionals.

How do I decide if sickness is virus related or bacteria related? What symptoms should I look at when determining if my child needs to go to the doctor? What immunizations are needed at what age and the frequency of them? To have these and many other questions answered, join us on January 22 at 12:00 noon in the Medical Plaza Classroom in Clinton.
