Chester, (CA) April 28th, 2025 – Seneca Healthcare District (SHD) proudly offered free health exams at the successful Transitional Kindergarten (TK) & Kindergarten Round-Up event, annually held at Chester Elementary School on April 24th, 2025. This community event welcomes new families and their future students into the school community. SHD featured Primary Care Provider Stefanie White, FNP-C, who provided free basic physicals, and Registered Dietitian Traci Haynes, who addressed parents’ questions regarding anemia and children’s diets. The Kindergarten Round-Up event is coordinated by the Plumas County Office of Education each year, and Seneca Healthcare District is proud to support the youth of our community.
The event was a vibrant and engaging opportunity for parents and children to receive preliminary health assessments needed for starting school, meet with faculty and staff, and begin building a strong foundation for early learning and wellness.

From welcoming students with fun and interactive stations to offering valuable resources to families, the day was a testament to the strength and support of our combined wellness pillars in the community.
