Good Morning!!
So although much of the country has seen a lot of winter weather our area has largely escaped the dangerous ice storm that we were worried about. Out of an abundance of caution we will open all offices at NOON tomorrow to allow slow daytime driving for all employees and patients. If you have an appointment scheduled tomorrow morning please call tomorrow afternoon and we will reschedule you for a time that works for you. Please stay warm and safe today! We will see you tomorrow if needed !

If there are any changes or updates, we will be sure to communicate with you via our social media pages. Stay safe and warm!!❄️

As vaccination levels fall, the risk of measles exposure rises. This is most important for babies too young to be immunized.

If you have a child between 6-12 months old and will be traveling to an area with low vaccination rates , it may be worth considering an extra dose of MMR at least 2 weeks prior to your travel. Especially if there is also an outbreak in that area.

For the first time, a map allows people to type in their ZIP code and determine the risk of measles in their area based on vaccination coverage.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day! With many kids being home from school today, it’s the perfect opportunity to discuss the significance of the national holiday and why we observe it in the United States. Little kids might not understand the concept of civil rights, but they can understand that every person should be treated with fairness and kindness. With your school aged kids, you can discuss courage, powerful speech, stereotypes and biases. And for your high schoolers, it’s important to discuss the idea of finding a cause they support and getting involved. Any other ideas on how to educate your kids about MLK and his life? Share below!⬇️
