We have RSV vaccine in office. This is our third season administrating them and we have had. -zero- reports of any side effects. They’re well tolerated, and we are seeing less community transmission of respiratory syncytial virus. You can choose to protect your baby from severe illness!

This season, immunization remains the best way for parents to ensure their child is protected. RSV can be very serious for young babies and is the number one reason infants end up in the hospital before their first birthday.

Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie recently took to our Instagram stories to answer parents’ frequently asked questions ahead of RSV season. Check out our Instagram story highlights to learn more!

There are a lot of no-big-deal germs out there. But some germs, like Measles or Whooping cough are so super contagious and can cause such scary symptoms and outcomes. Thank you scientists, for creating safe ways to protect kids from scary germs!

As a parent, it’s understandable to want to learn about what’s in vaccines. But as you research, you might come across misleading claims about vaccine ingredients.

Antigens, for example, are a key ingredient in vaccines that help children’s immune systems learn to respond to viruses. Your children encounter antigens in many places they visit each day, including playgrounds. In fact, children can come in contact with up to 6,000 antigens each day.

If you have any additional questions about vaccines and their ingredients, talk with your pediatrician or click the link below.

Remember those big changes happening at our Medical Assistant Desk we told you about? Well....here's Part 2! 📣

We have some bright new faces and want to introduce you to our new MA's!

💚Genevieve has been with us since September, when she started as a Student completing her externship. We loved her so much, we decided to keep her and she became an "official" part of the Bear Creek Family in November. Previously, Genevieve worked as a Nursing Assistant at a Retirement Community.

🩷Haley is our newest face, joining us just a few weeks ago in the middle of February. She comes to us with years of MA experience, but most recently, was enjoying spending time with her two young boys.

We are SO excited for this new chapter, and can't wait for our families to meet Genevieve and Haley. 🐻 We're sure you'll love them just as much as we do!

(For reference: Genevieve = Gray Jacket. Haley = Black Jacket)

We have some big changes at our Medical Assistant Desk happening, and we want to share the news with all of our families! 🗣

💜After almost 6 years, our Medical Assistant, Odesea, has decided she was ready for a change and her last day with us was February 14th. Odesea was definitely a fun face around the clinic and we will miss her bubbly personality. We appreciate all of her hard work and dedication over the years!

🧡After about 1.5 years with us, our Medical Assistant, Liza, left Bear Creek Pediatrics to pursue her passion in Women's Health, and is now an MA at a local OBGYN Clinic. We miss her smiling face and appreciate her time with us!

Odesea & Liza - We will miss your shining personalities so much! Here's to your futures...May it be bright and full of amazing opportunities!✨🥰

What a great event. We were in that river for 4 1/2 minutes! It was a good reminder that there are things that are hard & difficult, there are things that hurt, but within each of us is the stamina to make it through. We were reminded today, that every breath is precious, and we celebrated. See you next year!
