Additional Sam Rodgers Resources for Children and Families

Sam Rodgers also provides additional resources to support the health and well-being of your family:

• • WIC: Our WIC team is here to help you learn important nutrition education and provide support with buying healthy food for your family. We offer personalized services for pregnant women, infants, and young children to ensure they get the nutrition they need for a healthy start.

Telehealth visits are a great option to meet with a Sam Rodgers provider from the comfort of your own home. However, not all medical needs can be addressed during a telehealth visit. We use a technology called Doxy.Me for our telehealth visits. For more information, please visit our  Telehealth page or call to discuss with a member of our team.
