RSV is a common respiratory virus that typically causes mild illness, but for some it can become severe. Babies may first experience a runny nose, eating or drinking less, or a cough. RSV symptoms may become more severe a few days after symptoms begin which can lead to wheezing or difficulty breathing. Talk to your healthcare provider to learn about what symptoms to watch for and ways to prevent severe illness. Learn more at Lung.org/rsv

A Friendly Update About Medication Refills 💜💊

Beginning February 13, 2026, we’ll be making a small change to how medication refill requests are handled. We will no longer use our medication refill voicemail line.

Refills can be requested through the patient portal or by contacting your pharmacy, who can send the request directly to our office. These options help us process requests more efficiently and keep things running smoothly for our families.

We’ve shared more details — including why we’re making this change and what to expect — on our blog.

You can't be at the top of your game when you're sick at home with the flu. An annual flu shot can help keep you healthy. Everyone six months and older should get a flu vaccine every year. Stay healthy, stay in the game!

To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a speech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.

"People with autism can achieve anything they set their minds to. I have been living independently and driving for nine years now. I also run a nonprofit organization called iPads for Autism, where we provide iPads to children and adults with nonverbal autism and other nonverbal disabilities. We also offer the Proloquo2Go app, a communication tool that uses symbols and pictures to help individuals communicate their needs, wants, and interact with others. So far, we've donated 30 iPads. I would love to share my story about how people with autism can accomplish anything they aspire to. As a motivational speaker for autism, I give talks at schools, conferences, and universities, educating people about autism, sensory tools, and products. I also assist many families who have children and adults with nonverbal autism and other disabilities."

Our Practice

From our roots as the first Pediatric practice in the Platte County area back in 1989, Pediatric Care North has provided state-of-the-art medical care in a personalized environment. Our practice treats patients from newborn through high school, and on to the age of 21.

Our 9 board certified physicians have all had specialty training in the field of pediatric medicine. We now have a staff of 3 board certified pediatric nurse practitioners and 4 board certified lactation specialists. In fact, Pediatric Care North was the first pediatric practice in the Kansas City metropolitan area to create a lactation support program where mothers and babies get the nursing support needed.

Over the years, our practice has expanded and grown with the Northland. We have maintained an atmosphere of personalized service while delivering excellent medical services to all of our valued patient families.
