Birthday Spotlight!

Meet Shay, one of our Medical Assistants here at Wasatch. She has been part of Wasatch for 5 years, and her passion for helping others is what inspired her to pursue a career in healthcare.

After a long day, Shay enjoys a comforting plate of alfredo and unwinds with diamond art. Outside of work, she likes collecting little knick-knacks and considers herself more of a night owl.

If she could have dinner with anyone, past or present, she would choose her grandparents. And if she had a superpower, she would be a mind reader.

Her favorite quote:
"Remember who you are, and what you stand for".

We are so grateful to have Shay on our team. Happy Birthday Shay!! 💙🧡💚

🌎 Happy Earth Day! Earth Day is a great chance to help your kids understand how to care for the world around them. Here are some tips for younger kids:

For preschool age (2–5):
💧 Talk about why we take care of our planet
🌱 Show how we use water, soil, and other resources every day
♻️ Practice simple habits like turning off lights, saving water, and reusing materials

For early elementary age (6–8):
🌿 Start bigger conversations about helping your community
💡 Brainstorm together ways to reduce impact—grow a garden, use reusable bottles, or conserve energy at home

These small, age-appropriate conversations and habits build a lifelong respect for the environment and help kids feel like they’re part of something bigger. 🌍✨

Team bonding beyond the office 🎬

Recently, many of our staff got together for a fun movie night—sharing laughs(ok, maybe tears), snacks, and great company outside of the workday. Moments like these help strengthen our connections and remind us how important it is to build community both in and out of the office.

We’re grateful for a team that enjoys spending time together and supporting one another!

Planning on spring cleaning? Involve your kids! 🧼🧹. Here are some ways spring cleaning can improve your child's development:

🌸 Practice gross motor skills by sweeping, dusting, and picking up toys
🌸 Practice fine motor skills by folding clothes & sorting small items (no choking hazards)
🌸 Learn responsibility by letting them pick their tasks & setting a completion time
🌸 Practice giving back by donating outgrown clothes & unused toys
🌸 Feel appreciated by congratulating your child on a job well done & thanking them for their help

Remember, never have your child handle any chemicals, excessive amounts of dust, or anything too heavy & out of reach!

After seven wonderful months with us, we’re saying goodbye to our amazing social work intern, Sarai. She has been a warm, compassionate presence in our office, and her kind, friendly personality will truly be missed by both our team and the children we serve.

We’re so excited for her as she takes the next step in her journey at G.E.M. (Gentle, Empathetic, Mindful) Therapy in Ogden, where she’ll be focusing on women’s mental health—including perinatal and postnatal care, as well as birth trauma—areas that are deeply meaningful to her.

While we’re sad to see her go, we couldn’t be more proud of all she’s accomplished and the impact she will continue to make. Wishing you all the best, Sarai!

The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) is the best way to protect your child from measles and routine vaccination consists of two doses at ages 12-15 months and 4-6 years. Because measles is spreading so much in Utah, your child may be eligible to get earlier doses of the MMR vaccine:

- Infants aged 6-11 months can receive an early, extra dose
- Children ages 1-4 can receive their second dose early as long as it has been 28 days since their first dose

Talk to your pediatrician if you have questions about timing or if your child is not fully vaccinated - we’re here to help guide you! 💙

If your child has a high fever and rash, or suspect they have measles, stay home to avoid spreading it since it is highly contagious. Call your pediatrician first for further instructions before visiting a clinic, urgent care, or emergency room.

Employee Birthday Spotlight: Tana

Meet Tana, Dr. Judd's MA at Wasatch Pediatrics! She's been with us for almost a year and was inspired to go into healthcare after seeing her grandma face many medical challenges.

When Tana's not at the clinic, you'll find her painting or drawing, snacking on chips & salsa (or Cheez-Its), and adding to her Squishmallow and FigPin collections. She's a proud night owl, who would choose mind reading or teleportation as her superhero power.

Her favorite quote "No matter where life takes me, you'll find me with a smile." by Mac Miller

We are so lucky to have Tana be a part of our Farmington Wasatch Team. Happy Birthday Tana!
