Back-to-School Wellness: Boosting Your Kids’ Health with Cove DPC

September in Columbus, IN, means crisp fall days and the whirlwind of back-to-school season. For moms, it’s a time of new routines, homework, and keeping kids healthy through the transition. At Cove Direct Primary Care (DPC), we know that wellness goes beyond treating illness—it’s about helping your kids thrive physically and mentally. Our personalized, accessible care makes it easy for families to stay healthy. Here’s how Cove DPC supports your kids’ back-to-school wellness.


Why Back-to-School Wellness Matters

The shift from summer to school can be tough on kids. New schedules, academic pressures, and exposure to germs in classrooms can lead to stress, fatigue, or frequent colds. Moms need a healthcare partner who can act fast and focus on prevention, not just sick visits. Traditional doctor’s offices often mean long waits or rushed appointments, but Cove DPC offers same-day access, transparent pricing, and care tailored to your family’s needs.


3 Ways Cove DPC Boosts Your Kids’ Wellness


  1. Same-Day Appointments for Busy Schedules: Whether it’s a lingering cough, a sports injury, or a wellness check, Cove DPC offers same-day or next-day appointments, in-person or virtual, to fit your packed calendar. Nurse Practitioner Will Pumphrey, FNP-C, is here to address concerns quickly, so your kids miss less school and you miss less work. Our flexible scheduling helps you keep wellness a priority without disrupting your day. 
  2. Personalized Wellness Plans, Including Vaccine Guidance: Every child is unique, and their wellness needs vary. Cove DPC takes the time to create tailored plans, from healthy sleep routines to stress management tips for school transitions. We also guide parents on vaccine schedules, reviewing what’s due, offering recommendations, and providing written orders for vaccines at trusted local providers. Our unhurried visits ensure you get practical advice to keep your kids energized and focused. 
  3. Affordable, Transparent Care for Peace of Mind: Back-to-school expenses like supplies and extracurriculars add up fast. Cove DPC’s flat monthly membership eliminates surprise bills, covering unlimited visits and discounted lab tests with no copays. This predictable pricing lets you focus on your kids’ wellness—whether it’s a check-up or a quick consult—without worrying about hidden costs. It’s care that fits your budget and your family’s needs.
