🎉 New Year, Healthy Kids! 🎉

A new year is the perfect time to focus on your child’s health and well-being. Scheduling your child’s annual wellness visit helps ensure they’re growing, developing, and thriving as they should.

Wellness visits allow us to:
✔️ Track growth and development
✔️ Keep vaccines up to date
✔️ Discuss nutrition, sleep, and healthy habits
✔️ Address any concerns early—before they become bigger issues

Start 2026 strong by making preventive care a priority. Call our office today to schedule your child’s wellness visit—we’re here to support your family every step of the way! 💜👶🩺

✨ New Year Reminder for Our Families! ✨

With the start of the new year, many insurance plans have reset. We kindly encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your co-pays, deductibles, and coverage before your next visit.

This helps make check-in smoother and avoids any surprises. Thank you for helping us keep things running smoothly — and as always, thank you for trusting us with your little ones’ care!

🍁 Flu Season is Here — Time to Protect Your Kids! 💙

The flu can spread fast among children, especially at school and daycare. A flu shot is the safest way to keep your little ones healthy this season!

👶 Tips for Families:
• Get vaccinated early — it takes about 2 weeks to build protection
• Encourage frequent handwashing 🖐️
• Keep kids home if they show fever or flu symptoms 🤒
• Cover coughs and sneezes to prevent spreading germs

A little prevention goes a long way toward a healthy fall and winter. Call our office to schedule your child’s flu shot today! 💉

Hand, Foot & Mouth season is here, and we’re seeing a few cases in the community. Here’s what parents should know:

Hand, Foot & Mouth is a common childhood virus that causes small blisters on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth. While uncomfortable, it’s usually mild and gets better on its own within 7–10 days.

What to watch for:
• Fever
• Sore throat
• Reduced appetite
• Rash or tiny blisters on hands, feet, or around the mouth

How to help your little one:
• Keep them hydrated
• Offer cold drinks or popsicles for mouth soreness
• Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen for comfort (if age-appropriate)
• Keep them home until fever-free for 24 hours and feeling better

As always, if you have concerns or symptoms worsen, give our office a call. We’re here to help keep your kiddos healthy! 💙✨
