While national data shows flu activity starting to trend slightly down, we’re seeing a second wave of flu locally — both at Children's Mercy and here in our office. We’re also noticing a small increase in strep throat cases.

If your child has symptoms and you’re unsure what’s going on, we offer walk-in hours Monday–Friday from 8:30am–12:00pm and 1:30pm–4:30pm.

PCR flu testing is available, and antiviral medications may be appropriate for some patients and are most effective when started early, following an in-office evaluation.

As always, we’re here to help guide families through a busy winter illness season. 💙

Kirsten is an integral part of our newborn team and works closely with Mindy, our lactation consultant, to support families during those early, important days. She has also stepped into a leadership role by helping guide our Infant Feeding Support Group, providing encouragement, education, and reassurance to new parents.

New Year Fresh Start!
As we start the new year, please take a moment to review the following to-do list:

• Make sure you are registered for a patient portal account
• Update your contact information if anything has changed
• Confirm your insurance plan is still in-network and that we have the correct plan information
• Upload any new insurance cards, front and back images
• Update credit card or or FSA/HSA information if it changed
• Verify your pharmacy information is accurate
• Request an appointment for your child's next annual physical

Keeping your info up to date is especially important if you are requesting medication refills in-between visits, and also helps avoid billing delays and ensures smoother visits when in person.

Thank you for helping us start the year off right!
