Here’s hoping everyone has a fabulous time celebrating today! But also just a heads up that for many more “spirited” kids the excitement can also spillover into big meltdowns!

Celebrating 2 years of CCWS today!

“A dream doesn’t require perfection—just courage to begin.”

If you had told me a few years ago that I’d one day open my own independent pediatric clinic, I would have laughed out loud. Even 3½ years ago, when I left my position at a corporate-owned pediatric practice after 10 years there—2 of them as medical director—this was not part of the plan.

I’ve always loved practicing medicine and caring for my patients, but I knew something needed to change. I wanted to slow down, to have more time to truly connect with each child and family sitting in front of me. That desire sparked a journey of curiosity—I began asking questions, reaching out to physicians across the country who were reimagining pediatric care, and slowly, the dream for this clinic began to take shape.

Starting from scratch felt equal parts thrilling and terrifying. But I wasn’t alone. My dear friend, now turned practice manager extraordinaire, Kirsten believed in the vision from day one and jumped aboard for the adventure. With her partnership, and the unwavering support of my husband and parents, the dream became a reality.

Two years later, we’ve built something truly special—a practice grounded in compassion, and connection, supported by the most amazing team of kind, skilled nurses headed up by our fabulous nurse manager Olivia. And as we’ve grown, we even added another brilliant pediatrician this spring welcoming Dr. Holly Hanes to our team!

Here’s to continuing to grow, serve, and care for our community—one patient at a time.

With the heartbreaking news out of Texas this weekend, we are thinking of all those families and praying for more rescues!
North Carolina knows too well the devastation flash floods can bring!

Appreciate this list (compiled by Texas transplant Claire Calvin) of ways we can help support those affected!

During the weekend, we watched with horror as the scenes in Texas unfolded into a nightmare for families, communities, and the wild landscapes we love. While the tragedy of Hurricane Helene is still so fresh for us in North Carolina, this has struck a deep nerve and is hard to take in.

We wanted to share resources for those looking to support the relief efforts there, and also send all our love and hope to those still searching for their loved ones:

: Matching donations of up to $4,000.

: Raising money, collecting donations, and organizing volunteers to help pets from Kerr County.

: Donating 100% of profits to flood victims and recovery.

: Raising funds to provide refuge, emergency supplies, relief, and recovery aid.

: Collecting donations to support local response, relief, and recovery efforts.

: Donating profits from all locations on July 5 to victims in Hunt, Kerrville, and the Hill Country.

: Organizing a supply drive.

: Raising funds for search, rescue and recovery.

: Raising money for mutual aid rapid response to counties affected by the flood.

: Accepting donations to feed residents of Kerrville.

: 100% of profits will be donated.

: Matching donations up to $4,000.

: Donating 100% of profits from online bottle sales through Saturday.
