A Safe Space For Kids While You're at Your Appointment

Peak Vista offers a safe place for your healthy child to stay during your medical visit — and it’s free! If you have a healthy child between six months and 12 years old, you can drop them off at one of our Well-Child Waiting Areas while you go to your appointment.

You don’t need to call ahead or make any plans. Just arrive a little early, and our trained staff will care for your child with fun toys, books, and games. This free service is available at three of our health centers.
