🚭 Today is the Great American Smokeout! At Glens Falls Pediatric Consultants, we believe every child deserves a healthy, smoke-free future. Quitting smoking—even for one day—can be the first step toward a lifetime of better health.

Parents, caregivers, and community members: your choices matter. By quitting, you protect not only your health but also the health of the children who look up to you. 💜

Let’s work together to create a tobacco-free generation. Talk to your pediatrician about resources to help you quit.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Quick Reminder for Our Parent Community

We know life gets busy, and the portal is a helpful way to reach out with questions or updates about your child’s care. Just a few things to keep in mind:

📌 The portal is best used for non-urgent concerns—like scheduling, medication refills, or general questions.

⏰ Please note: Messages sent after 7 PM or on weekends won’t be seen until regular office hours resume.

If something feels urgent or time-sensitive, please call our office directly or seek appropriate care.

Thanks for helping us keep communication clear and timely—we’re here to support your family!

✅ Rear-facing seats are safest for toddlers under age 2
✅ Harness straps should be snug—no slack, no twists
✅ Booster seats are essential until seat belts fit properly (usually around age 8–12) ✅ Car seats expire! Check the label for the date
