Pediatric Partners is looking forward to working with you to make 2010 a healthy year for your child!

Monthly Coloring Contests: Beginning in February, we will have a monthly coloring contest for patients in our office.  Each month will have a health related theme for kids to draw a picture representing the theme.  We will put all the entries on display in the waiting room and staff will vote on winners in two age groups at the end of each month.  Winners will be able to pick a prize and will have their creation on display in a frame for at least a year in one of our exam rooms.  Click here for official rules. February's theme:  Heart Health.  For kid's activities, click here.  For general information about heart health, click here.  For Wear Red Day information, click here.  Did you know: Kids can have congenital heart defects (ones they are born with) and acquired heart disease (which develop during childhood, usually related to infection, but as obesity rates increase children are at risk of damage to their hearts). About 36,000 children are born with a heart defect each year.  Nine of every 1,000 infants born each year has a heart defect.  Innocent heart murmurs are common in children and are harmless.  Most children have a murmur at some point in their life, but it will disappear. Proper nutrition and exercise help keep hearts healthy! Limiting screen time encourages more active lifestyles. About 30% of children between 2 and 19 years of age are overweight.  Overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults.

Avoid illness!  Please leave siblings who do not need to be seen in our office at home so their fingers don't touch all the germs!  Healthy siblings often play around our office, and even though we attempt to clean on a regular basis, the safest place is at home. Help our allergic patients!  The only food allowed in our office is baby bottles.  This also helps to keep infection risks lower for your children who have touched objects in our office and then eat with their hands.

Winter Weather:  Our office attempts to stay open during normal business hours during all weather, but if we close, it will be posted on this page and an e-mail sent to all who are registered on our site.  If you do not feel comfortable driving to an appointment due to bad weather, please call the office to reschedule.  We will not apply our usual less than 24 hour cancellation fee for weather related rescheduled appointments if we are under weather advisories.  If you do choose to keep your appointment, leave early, drive safely and be sure to have enough gas, extra blankets and a working cell phone.  We will offer Baby Valet for all of you with just one adult and young ones.  Simply call our office from your cell phone when you get to our parking lot and someone from our office will take your baby into the entryway while you park.  Going out, remember to ask to have someone walk you down and wait with your baby while you get your car.  Stay warm and safe!
