Well-Child Visits

Well-Child Visits

Another DCYF health goal is that children and youth reach developmentally appropriate milestones.

Data from developmental screenings, such as the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) assessment, can be used to track progress on healthy child and youth development; however, this information is not currently available. In State Fiscal Year 2024, 44% of 3 to 11 year olds on Medicaid received at least one well-care visit.
