If a concern is identified, we have resources that can help, all at prices that you can afford. At River Valley Primary Care

Services, we are your Health Care Home.

Flu Shots

Flu shots can help reduce your child’s chances of getting the flu. Flu shots do not cause the flu. Flu shots will help your child’s body build up resistance to protect him or her from the flu. Flu shots are approved for children that are older than 6 months of age. Flu shots are especially important for children with a high-risk for complications from the flu, such as those with certain health conditions. Ask your doctor if flu shots are right for your child. River Valley Primary Care Services has discounted fees to make flu shots affordable for all.

Lead Testing

River Valley Primary Care Services offers testing for lead in children. Lead testing is very important because children with high lead levels in their blood can develop significant health complications. Lead testing is recommended for children that may have been exposed to lead in their environment, such as in the home or soil. Lead testing involves a fast and simple skin prick to collect a small blood sample for testing. If your child tests positive for lead, our doctor’s will refer you to experts who can provide recommendations and treatments to help your child. River Valley Primary Care Services offers discounted fees for child lead testing. Has your child been tested for lead? Schedule your child’s lead test by calling our Ratcliff Clinic at (479) 431-2050 or (800) 877-7658; or RVPCS - Northside Clinic in Fort Smith, AR at (479) 785-5700; or Mulberry Family Clinic at (479) 997-1484; or Mountainburg Family Clinic at (479) 369-2091; Eastside Family Clinic at (479) 434-4747; or Lamar Wellness Center (479) 668-4881; Waldron Family Clinic (479) 668-4700.
