Congrats to Dr. Scherer for completing her 13th marathon yesterday at the Illinois Marathon in Champaign-Urbana! She even saw one of our longtime patients at the finish line and got to catch up on college life! We love seeing our patients all grown up and thriving!! ❤️

Celebrating our amazing front staff today! They do so much to keep our office running smoothly and they do it with smiles on their faces. Seriously, we are so grateful for this dedicated group of ladies who rise to the occasion every day, multi-tasking to balance all that is asked of them. Thank you!!!

Children’s Health Partners is thrilled to introduce our new office manager, Annie, who has hit the ground running since officially taking over the position last week. Annie comes to us with almost a decade’s worth of experience working with medical practices and over 7 years managing another pediatric practice in the Chicagoland area, so she has a deep wealth of knowledge that we’re truly grateful for. She’s worked closely with our previous manager and longtime CHP nurse, Helen, over the last several weeks to ensure a smooth transition, so you may have already seen her in the office.

Annie lives with her family in the area and is the proud mom of three amazing kids. She is “excited to join CHP because of its longstanding reputation as a leading pediatric practice in the community and its team of brilliant physicians, nurses and staff who strive every day to provide quality medical care and make the patient experience better.” 🥰

Please join us in welcoming Annie to our “CHP Family.”
❤️❤️❤️

Some of our pediatricians got all dressed up last night for the Edward-Elmhurst Hospital Physician Appreciation Dinner in downtown Chicago. Always a fun time to celebrate the many years of service so many physicians have given to our local hospital system!

We celebrated March Madness earlier this week by wearing our favorite college team gear! Let’s just say we have a lot of former Hawkeyes that work at CHP! 💛🖤
Dr. Scherer is an overall fan of the Big 10, having grown up cheering for the Minnesota Gophers, but now is excited to cheer on the Fighting Illini this weekend in the Final Four since that is where her family is currently sending tuition checks!! 🧡💙

Everyone enjoy the games if that’s what you’re into!
Have a wonderful weekend, and welcome back from Spring Break to those who traveled!

Walk-In Hours will resume on Monday!!

We survived the Friday before Spring Break!!

Just a reminder that there will NO Walk-In Hours in the morning next week while most of our local school districts are on Spring Break. Our office will still be open for regular office hours all week, but please call first to schedule an appointment if your child is sick and needs an appointment. Our Walk-In Clinic will resume on Monday, April 6th.

After a long run or intense workout, it’s important to refuel your body within 30-60 minutes to help replenish your glycogen stores and repair muscle breakdown. Chocolate milk is one of the most ideal post workout foods because it has the perfect balance of carbohydrates to protein to achieve these goals AND it’s delicious!! If your stomach is sensitive to lactose, you can get lactose-free chocolate milk like me!!

Tonight we celebrated the retirement of one our longtime CHP employees, Jane!! For the last 17 years, Jane has been a vital member of our office staff, working for many years in our front desk area before transitioning to assist our billers in more recent years. Her warm and gentle nature have always been a blessing to all of us and we already miss her greatly since her last day at the end of December. Luckily, she promises to stop by often!

Happy Retirement, Jane!! ❤️

Children’s Health Partners remains committed to following evidence-based, scientifically-backed recommendations to best protect children, including our own, and our communities.

We will continue to follow the vaccination schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is the same as the previous federal/CDC schedule and what we’ve always followed.

Additionally, the Illinois Department of Health continues to support the science and recommends following the former CDC schedule. State vaccine requirements for daycare and school attendance remain unchanged and the insurance industry has assured coverage for all vaccines through the entirety of 2026.

Please follow , , and for accurate, science-backed and evidence-based information.
