PHC

It’s that time of year again, have you had your flu shot?

Everyone six months and older should get a flu vaccine every season with rare exceptions. Vaccination is particularly important for people who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza.  

Talk to your PHC health care provider to learn if a flu vaccination is appropriate for you. If it is, schedule your appointment today.

Did you know PHC has three school based health clinics embedded within Des Moines Public Schools?

All students in the DMPS system are welcome to receive care at any of the school based health clinics (SBHC). Clinics are located in East High School, Hoover High School, and Kurtz Opportunity Center. If you have a student you would like to schedule, please call (515) 248-1500 or see PHC’s School Clinic webpage.
