It feels like everyone is sick right now… and of course, Christmas is days away. We want to make everyone aware of our limited hours this week:

🎄 On Christmas Eve, we’ll be open 8:30 am–Noon with limited same-day sick appointments. Please call early, as we expect to fill quickly.

🎅 We’ll be closed on Christmas Day, with our on-call nurse line available for urgent matters only.

😴 We’ll all be a little tired, but we’ll be back to our regular hours on Friday, December 26th.

We are seeing a lot of flu-positive kids right now. If your child has tested positive for flu (including a rapid test from the pharmacy) or has classic flu symptoms, here are some at-home care tips that can help over the weekend.

Flu home care tips:
💧 Fluids are key – small, frequent sips to prevent dehydration
🛌 Rest – allow extra sleep and quiet time
🌡️ Fever control – acetaminophen or ibuprofen as directed for age and weight. We have added a link below to our online dosing guide.
🤧 Congestion relief – humidifier, saline spray, gentle suction for younger kids
🍲 Food as tolerated – appetite may be low, and that is okay
🦠 Limit spread – good handwashing and keeping sick kids home

💊 About antiviral medication (Tamiflu):
Antiviral medication is not routinely recommended for most healthy children with flu and is not always necessary for recovery. When it is considered, it must be based on a child’s age, medical history, symptoms, and timing of illness.

For safety reasons, we do not prescribe antiviral medication without an in-person evaluation. If you feel your child may need antiviral treatment this weekend, the safest option is to be evaluated at an urgent care center.

Most children improve with supportive care at home, and we are always available through night triage for urgent concerns.

🚨 Urgent warning signs – call 911 or seek immediate care at the nearest emergency room if your child has:
• Trouble breathing or fast, labored breathing
• Blue or gray lips or face
• Signs of dehydration (very little urine, dry mouth, no tears)
• A fever that is not improving or a child who is difficult to wake
• Worsening symptoms or anything that concerns you as a parent

Our office is closed for the weekend and will reopen on Monday morning.

Take care, stay warm, and we hope everyone feels better soon 💙

📣 We have received an overwhelming response to our recent post about a child in our community and patient of Peak who is in need of a liver transplant. The family and medical team are so grateful for the incredible outpouring of support.

The latest update we’ve received is that the child is still stable and remains on the transplant list. At this time, the medical team is moving more slowly in the hopes that he can remain stable without an immediate transplant.

Because of the large number of potential donors who have already come forward, we are pausing the submission of additional donors so that the hospital can carefully work through those already received.

On behalf of Peak and the family, we want to sincerely thank everyone for the prayers, shares, and offers to help. This post has reached far beyond North Attleboro, and we have heard from people across the country offering support. It has been truly amazing to see the strength of our community and the kindness of so many. 💙💜

A 9-year-old child in our community, and a patient of Peak, is in critical need of a liver transplant within the next 1–2 days to survive.

Donor requirements:
➡️ Blood type A
➡️ Under 50 years old
➡️ BMI under 32

Our community has come together many times before to support children in need, and we’re asking you to do it again. If you or someone you know may qualify and is willing to be considered as a donor, please contact our office by texting Adam at (508) 576-5668.

If you can’t help directly, please share this post to help spread the word!

Please keep this child and family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

📣🥳 We’re excited to welcome Corey Picken, PA-C, to Peak Pediatric Care beginning in June!

With the sudden closure of Anchor Pediatrics, we are grateful to welcome Corey to our team. She has spent her career caring for families at Anchor and brings experience, compassion, and dedication to everything she does.

Many Anchor families have already transitioned to Peak, and we know they will be glad to see a familiar face. Dr. Hansen is confident Corey will be a wonderful addition, bringing the same quality care, warmth, and personal connection that define our practice.

Corey shared that she is truly excited to join Peak. From her first visit, she felt our approach to pediatric care matched her own vision. She looks forward to continuing her career at Peak, reconnecting with families she has cared for, and building new relationships in our growing community.

By having Corey join our team, Peak can continue welcoming Anchor families without impacting the high level of care our current patients expect. It also opens the door to exploring exciting new services for all Peak families.

✅ Starting at Peak in June
✅ Has been at Anchor Pediatrics in Lincoln since 2020
✅ Graduated from Johnson & Wales University

💙 Peak is still accepting new patients. For more information, visit peakpediatriccare.com or call the office at (508) 576-5010

We will support your child from newborn care to young adulthood, understanding their needs and being there for them every step of the way.
