We are so lucky to have the best pediatric nurses on the South Shore! Whether they are giving you advice over the phone, answering your MyChart messages, filling out your prior authorizations and school forms, checking your child’s vital signs as you start your visit or giving shots, they approach every parent and child with the care, compassion and respect they would want for their own families. We cannot thank them enough for all that they do but this week is a great time to publicly acknowledge all of their hard work. Happy Pediatric Nurses Week!

At Beacon Pediatrics, we want to speak directly to our families in the aftermath of today’s announcement from the president and HHS regarding maternal acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism.

We know that these kinds of headlines can cause fear, guilt, and confusion. Please remember: correlation is not causation. Large, high-quality studies have shown no proven causal link between acetaminophen use in pregnancy and autism.

A major study in 2024 compared siblings - one exposed to acetaminophen in utero, the other not. This study took into account genetics and family environment, and the result was CLEAR: the link disappeared. 

Acetaminophen does not cause autism.

Vaccines do not cause autism.

Autism is a complex condition with many contributing factors. What’s most important is that every child receives the love, support, and evidence-based care they deserve, and that parents feel reassured and supported— not blamed.

Beacon Pediatrics will continue to follow the best available research and stand alongside our families with compassion, science, and care.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here for you.

Beacon Pediatrics has been awarded recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance Patient-Centered Medical Home Program. This program was developed to assess whether clinician practices are functioning as medical homes and recognize them for these efforts.

“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Beacon Pediatrics has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”
