🎃 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤-𝐨𝐫-𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲! 👻
Halloween is almost here and we want all our little ghosts and goblins to have a spooktacular (and safe!) night of fun! Here are a few quick tips to keep everyone happy and healthy while trick-or-treating:

1.) Stick to well-lit areas and walk with an adult or group.
2.) Add reflective tape or glow sticks to costumes so kids are easy to see.
3.) Avoid homemade treats from strangers; only enjoy sealed goodies.
4.) Make sure costumes fit properly to prevent trips and falls.

Wishing all our Eastern Pediatrics families a safe, candy-filled Halloween night! 🧡

Fall is in the air! With cooler mornings and chillier evenings rolling in, this time of year can bring more than just cozy sweaters, it can also mean an increase in sniffles and colds. As temperatures start to dip, kids’ immune systems can feel the shift, making it especially important to give them a little extra support.

𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐩: Morning bus stops and playgrounds can get cold quickly! Dress kids in easy-to-remove layers so they stay comfortable as temperatures change throughout the day.
𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Balanced meals with plenty of fruits and veggies give the immune system the vitamins it needs to stay strong.
𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Even when it’s cooler out, kids still need to drink water regularly.
𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭: A good night’s sleep helps the body recharge and fight off seasonal germs.
𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐮𝐩 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: Regular handwashing remains one of the best ways to prevent the spread of colds and viruses.

And don’t forget; keeping up with your child’s flu shot is another great way to protect their health this season! 💉 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞-𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐮 𝐅𝐥𝐮 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟓𝐭𝐡, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟗:𝟎𝟎–𝟏𝟎:𝟑𝟎 𝐀𝐌 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. Call ahead to let us know you're attending!

If you have questions about your child’s health or how to boost their immunity during the colder months, our team at Eastern Pediatrics is here to help every step of the way. 🍂💗

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲: 𝐃𝐫. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬! 🌟

Dr. Phillips was inspired to become a pediatrician by his mentor, Dr. Carl Whetsell, whose joy and passion for caring for children were contagious. That early experience showed him how meaningful it is to make a difference in the lives of kids and families, and he’s carried that same enthusiasm into his own practice ever since.

For Dr. Phillips, the best part of pediatrics is forming relationships and watching his patients grow. “𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔,” he says. “𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈.” His advice for parents? Encourage children to explore music, art, sports, and reading; it's the best way to help them discover what makes them happy and confident.

If he could be any children’s book character, Dr. Phillips would be Naruto: he relates to Naruto’s energy, sense of loyalty, and belief in forming lasting bonds. And if he could have a superpower, he’d pick Shadow Clones, so he could spend more time with every patient (and maybe let one clone handle the charting!). Outside the office, Dr. Phillips enjoys building theater sets and props for local productions, and he treasures every drawing, note, and sweet treat his patients share. 💜

We are so grateful to have Dr. Phillips as part of our Eastern Pediatrics family!
