Health Services
To help children thrive, CSI staff ensure children are up-to-date on required immunizations and follow the established Montana Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) schedule for well-child and dental examinations, learn healthy habits and have access to the medical and oral healthcare they require.
We are required to ensure that each child has completed specific health events within a set schedule laid out in the Head Start Program Performance Standards from the child’s enrollment date.
