FYI, RITE AID PHARMACY CLOSURES:
As Rite Aid stores close, patients will need to transfer their prescriptions to a new pharmacy. Rite Aid is working to facilitate a smooth transfer of prescription files to other pharmacies, including CVS, Walgreens, and others. Patients can also proactively contact their preferred pharmacy to initiate a transfer or reach out to their doctor for new prescriptions.
Here's a breakdown of what patients can do:
• Check for notifications:
Rite Aid will likely send notifications to customers about store closures and how to transfer prescriptions.
• Contact a new pharmacy:
Patients can contact their preferred pharmacy (e.g., CVS, Walgreens, a local pharmacy) to transfer their prescriptions. Some pharmacies, like CVS, may already have agreements to receive Rite Aid prescription files.
• Contact Rite Aid directly:
Patients can also contact their local Rite Aid store or customer service to initiate the transfer process.
• Contact their doctor:
If a patient needs a new prescription or has questions about refills, they should contact their doctor.
• Consider the options:
Patients should compare prices and services at different pharmacies to find the best fit for their needs.
• Online tools:
Some online tools like RxOpen can help locate open pharmacies in an area.
Important considerations:
• Transferring prescription files:
Rite Aid will work to transfer prescription files to other pharmacies, but patients may need to take some steps to ensure a smooth process.
• Refills:
Patients should ensure they have enough medication to last through the transition period and can request refills at their new pharmacy.
• Insurance:
Patients should check with their insurance provider about coverage at the new pharmacy.
• Emergency situations:
In emergency situations, patients can seek immediate assistance from nearby pharmacies or hospitals.

Not too late to vaccinate against the flu!

Seasonal influenza remains very high across the country. AAP analysis found that hospital admissions for kids ages 5-17 saw a 145% increase between January 4th and February 1st and new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data says 68 children have now died of influenza-associated deaths this season. The CDC classified this season as “high severity” for all age groups, which it hasn’t done since the 2017 flu season. AAP and CDC recommend everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated against the flu and it’s not too late to get a flu shot!

Check out the simulation in the link below. The measles virus is highly airborne; it can stay on surfaces for up to two hours and infectivity begins four days before a rash, so you can feel healthy but still spread the disease.

If you take 10 communities and run a simulation, it’s easy to see why we need as many members of the ‘herd’ as possible to get vaccines – before it’s too late

🌟 Wishing Sherry a Happy Retirement! 🌟
Yesterday we celebrated Sherry with her favorite things as she retires after an incredible 38 years with our pediatric practice! During her tenure, Sherry showcased her remarkable talent and dedication by working every position in the office, most recently as the friendly face and warm welcome at our front desk.
Sherry has been an integral part of our team, touching the lives of patients, families, and coworkers with her kindness, humor, and fun-loving spirit. Over the years, we’ve created countless memories together, and her presence will be greatly missed.
As Sherry embarks on this exciting new chapter, she and her husband, Norm, are looking forward to spending more time with their cherished grandkids. 🧸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 While we’ll miss her dearly, we couldn’t be happier for her and this well-deserved next phase of life.
Sherry, thank you for everything you’ve done to make our practice a better place. Your legacy will live on, and we wish you all the best in your retirement! 💐🎉
