Enhanced 18-Month Well-Baby Visit - All 18-month old children in Ontario are now eligible to receive this enhanced visit.  The improved visit provides a greater opportunity for parents to talk more with their health care provider about healthy child development at this essential stage.  For parents, it means a more detailed discussion about their child with their family physician or other health care provider.
