📚✏️ Can you believe it? SCHOOL IS JUST ONE MONTH AWAY! 🎒🍎

As we soak up the last few weeks of summer, it’s the perfect time to get ahead of the back-to-school scramble! Here’s your friendly reminder to:

✅ Check for any school physical forms that need to be completed
✅ Review and submit any medication administration forms (inhalers, EpiPens, daily meds, etc.)
✅ Make sure immunizations are up to date (many schools require proof before the first day!)
✅ Schedule any needed well visits or follow-ups, we’re happy to help!
✅ Update emergency contact info and allergy lists if anything has changed

The sooner we get everything squared away, the smoother the first day will be for you and your child!

Call us today if you need an appointment or help with any forms, we’ve got you covered! 📞🩺

🌟 Exciting News at Dr. Lavoie’s Office! 🌟

Please join us in giving a big welcome to Kayla Allen, APRN, our newest addition to the team! We had to hit the JC Penny pose one time! Kayla brings compassion, experience, and a dedication to children’s health that we know our families will love.

☀️ Summer Safety Reminder ☀️
With temperatures rising, we want to remind everyone about the dangers of leaving children or pets in hot cars. Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can climb dangerously high in just minutes. This can lead to heatstroke, serious injury, or worse.

✅ Here are a few simple tips to help prevent a tragedy:
• Always look before you lock & double check the back seat.
• Place your purse, phone, or shoes in the back seat as a reminder.
• Set an alert or reminder on your phone if your routine changes.
• Keep car doors locked at home so curious kids can’t climb in.
• If you see a child or pet alone in a car, call 911 immediately.

Let’s work together to keep our little ones and our furry friends safe this summer! 💛🐾

🎆 Happy almost 4th of July! Here are some Safety Tips for Your Little Ones & Furry Friends! 🇺🇸

As we get ready to celebrate with fireworks, fun, and family time, here are a few reminders from us here at Dr. Lavoie’s Office to help keep everyone safe and happy this holiday:

👶 For the Kiddos:
• 🎇 Sparklers can be fun but very hot, consider glow sticks instead for little hands!
• 🧢 Keep kids well hydrated and shaded during outdoor festivities.
• 🧨 Watch out for small fireworks or party items that could be choking hazards.
• 🕶️ Don’t forget sunscreen, even on cloudy days!
• 🚗 If you’re traveling, double check that car seats are properly secured.

🐾 For Our Pets:
• 🐶 Fireworks can be scary! Create a quiet, cozy spot indoors for your pets.
• 🍗 Keep table food and drinks away from curious snouts, some can be toxic!
• 🐕 Make sure collars have up to date ID tags, just in case they get spooked and run.
• 🧨 Make sure to clean up the yard after family fun. Leftover sparklers can also be toxic!

Wishing all of our wonderful families and fur babies a safe and joyful 4th of July! Please feel free to share any and all plans you have with your kiddos!❤️💙

🌞 Happy Friday, everyone! Special Message from Riches most trusted advisor Dr. Bear! (Yes, this is Riche's Bear, in Riche's house in Riches first pair of scrubs)

You know we’re always here to keep you informed and today we’ve got a BIG update for our families with HUSKY B insurance!

🗓️ Starting July 1, 2025, families with HUSKY B (Children’s Health Insurance Program) will no longer need to pay out-of-pocket for:
👓 Eyeglasses
🎧 Hearing aids

Here’s what’s changing:
✅ The old $100 allowance for glasses and $1,000 for hearing aids is going away.
✅ Instead, the full cost will be covered by HUSKY B (up to the approved fee schedule).
✅ That means no more surprise bills for these items, DSS payment will now count as payment in full!

💡 No changes to how we submit claims or request authorizations it’s all being handled behind the scenes to make things easier for your family.

As always, we’ll continue to share updates like these so you’re never left guessing when it comes to your child’s care. 💙

Wishing all of our amazing patients and families a safe and relaxing weekend!
