📣 Important Announcement for Our Valued Patients and Families

We’re excited to announce that beginning Monday, August 25th, our clinic will be transitioning to a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) system designed specifically for pediatric care! 🙌

This change reflects our continued commitment to providing the highest quality healthcare experience for your child. The new system offers several family-friendly benefits, including:

✅ Faster, smoother check-ins with fewer paper forms

✅ An improved patient portal for easy access to visit summaries, test results, referral information, and patient education resources

✅ Streamlined billing and insurance processing

✅ A more connected and efficient care experience for your child

We appreciate your patience during this transition period. Our staff is here to help with any questions you may have about accessing your child’s new patient portal or navigating check-in.

✨Please note: This change applies to ALL current patients. For those 18 and older, this message is directed to you directly.

If you have any concerns or would like assistance with your new portal access, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our front desk team. 👉 816-792-1170

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s care! 💜💙🧡🩷

👶 Newborns in the Summer Heat

New babies need extra care during hot weather! Their tiny bodies don’t regulate temperature well, so keeping them cool, hydrated, and sun-safe is a must!

🌡️ Summer Tips for Newborns:

👕 Dress in light, breathable cotton

⛱️ Keep them out of direct sunlight — use shade and wide-brimmed hats

🍼 Offer frequent feedings to prevent dehydration

❄️ Make sure their sleep space is cool and well-ventilated

🚫 Skip sunscreen if under 6 months — shade is best protection!

🩺 Not sure if your baby is staying cool enough? We’re happy to help with summer care tips during your next visit.

🔥🥵 Kansas City Heat Wave Incoming — Keep Kids Safe & Hydrated!

With extreme temperatures headed to the Kansas City area, it’s more important than ever to protect kids from dehydration and heat exhaustion.

Active play in this heat can be dangerous without proper hydration.

✅ Offer water-packed fruits like watermelon, oranges, and cucumbers
✅ Freeze 100% fruit juice into fun popsicles
✅ Use low-sugar electrolyte drinks on active days
✅ Encourage sips from a water bottle every 20–30 minutes

⚠️ Signs of Dehydration or Heat Exhaustion in Kids:

😓 Fatigue, dizziness, or nausea
👅 Dry mouth or lips
💧 Minimal sweating or urination
😠 Irritability or unusual fussiness

🩺 If symptoms appear, move your child to a shaded or air-conditioned spot, offer fluids, and contact your pediatrician if symptoms persist.

👉 Stay prepared. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
