Back-to-School Health: Keep Kids Healthy with Cove DPC

As summer fades and back-to-school season arrives in Columbus, IN, moms are tackling busy schedules—school supplies, sports sign-ups, and keeping kids healthy. At Cove Direct Primary Care (DPC), we understand the stress of this time. That’s why we’re here to simplify healthcare for your family with flexible appointments, personalized care, and expert guidance. Discover how Cove DPC can keep your kids thriving this school year.


Why Back-to-School Health Matters

A new school year brings challenges like colds from crowded classrooms, sports injuries, or stress from packed routines. Moms need a healthcare partner they can trust for quick, reliable solutions without long waits or surprise bills. Unlike traditional doctor’s offices with weeks-long delays or rushed visits, Cove DPC offers unlimited visits, same-day appointments, and 24/7 access to Nurse Practitioner Will Pumphrey, FNP-C.


3 Ways Cove DPC Makes Back-to-School Easy

  1. Flexible, Same-Day Appointments. No more waiting weeks when your child has a sore throat or needs a sports physical. Cove DPC offers same-day or next-day appointments, in-person or virtual, to fit your busy schedule. Whether it’s a last-minute wellness check or a quick consult for a cough, we’re here when you need us. One Columbus mom said, “Will got us in the same day my daughter had a fever—what a relief!” 
  2. Personalized Care, Including Vaccine Guidance. Every child is unique, and their health needs vary. Unlike rushed 10-minute visits at traditional practices, Cove DPC provides unhurried time with Will Pumphrey to address concerns like allergies, sports injuries, or back-to-school anxiety. We also help parents stay on top of vaccine schedules by reviewing what’s due, making recommendations, and providing written orders for vaccines at trusted local providers. Our tailored plans keep your kids healthy and ready for school. 
  3. Transparent, Affordable Pricing. Back-to-school expenses pile up fast—backpacks, uniforms, and activities. Cove DPC eliminates surprise medical bills with our flat monthly membership. No copays, no hidden fees—just predictable, affordable care. Our members save on services like sports physicals and lab tests, and we coordinate additional needs, like vaccines, to make healthcare seamless.
