🎀 IT’S A GIRL! 🎀

We’re thrilled to share that our wonderful Physician Assistant, Samantha, has welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world—welcome, Hazel! 💕

We know so many of our patients were eagerly waiting for the big news, and the wait is finally over. Hazel is already so incredibly loved by her proud older brothers and all of us here at ABC Pediatrics.

Welcome to the ABC family, Hazel! 🥰🤍

This Memorial Day, we at ABC Pediatrics would like to take a moment to honor and thank two incredible members of our ABC family for their service to our country. 🇺🇸 WOW, we have a decorated group of people here!!

Kerri Van Arnem, our dedicated Physician Assistant, is a retired Major in the Army Medical Specialist Corps. Her commitment to caring for others has continued from the battlefield to the exam room, and we are so proud to have her on our team.

We also want to recognize Lieutenant Commander Kylen, the brother of our office manager Kaysie, who is currently serving in the U.S. Navy. His ongoing dedication and sacrifice are deeply appreciated.

We are proud and grateful to have such honorable individuals as part of our ABC Pediatrics family. Thank you Kerri, Kylen, and all of our other veterans and military personnel for your service, courage, and unwavering commitment to our country.

Pictured are some photos of Kylen paying a visit to our office, along with some pictures of Kerri and Kylen and their time in the service, as well as some photos that Kylen took while deployed of his different ships he has served on.
