Happy Halloween from PCI Pediatrics!

Halloween can be full of fun—but it’s important to stay safe! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends costumes that fit well, avoid masks that obscure vision, and include reflective elements for nighttime visibility. They also emphasize pedestrian safety—stick to well-lit sidewalks, cross at corners, and remind kids to stay visible and alert.

Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa (PCI) is proud to announce that its Ear, Nose & Throat/Head and Neck Surgery department is the first and only medical clinic in the Midwest to commercially offer the Genio™ system by Nyxoah—a groundbreaking, minimally invasive implant for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Recently approved by the FDA, Genio™ is a revolutionary solution designed to improve sleep quality and reduce the health risks associated with OSA. Unlike traditional therapies such as CPAP machines, Genio is a battery-free, leadless implant that stimulates the tongue muscle to maintain an open airway during sleep—all without the need for bulky equipment or hoses.

Hepatitis B is a serious virus that can cause lifelong liver damage, but the hepatitis B vaccine—given within 24 hours of birth—offers more than 95% protection and lasting immunity. Because newborns are especially vulnerable, early vaccination is the best way to prevent infection and protect your child’s long-term health.

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends hepatitis B vaccine starting at birth.
