Reading is one of the most important things you can do with your child. We recognize the importance of reading and getting lost in a good book which is why we have books as some of our prizes for after your child's visit. Whether it's a board book (that those 1-year-olds literally devour) or a chapter book for that budding independent reader, we love contributing to your library.

Keep reading, Spokane! 📖

With the uptick of measles cases and now a confirmed case in Washington state, we are getting phone calls about when a child can receive a 2nd dose of MMR.

The current recommendations are a first dose of MMR at 12 months old and a second dose at 4 years old. With the current cases, children can get that second dose as soon as 1 month after their 1st dose.

Additionally, infants between 6 months and 12 months can get a dose of MMR if they may be in a high-risk situation such as travel or in areas where measles cases are known. They would still receive the standard doses after 12 months.

Please call if you have any questions or want to get scheduled.

February is Heart ❤️ Month. Every day we work to keep our patients' hearts healthy and full of energy and love.

Here is a great article from HealthyChildren.org about the importance of cholesterol screening even in children, and it explains why we have added in the ability to check cholesterol/lipids during our 9 year old check-ups.

A child may have high cholesterol for a variety of reasons. That's why the AAP recommends screening kids between ages 9 and 11, or earlier if they have a family history of high cholesterol. Learn more here.

This holiday season, our office helped provide gifts to families in the practice who we thought could use additional holiday cheer. We wanted to give a special shoutout to our staff who contributed and to Spokane Art Supply who donated art supplies for the families. We appreciate everyone's generosity.

Happy birthday to us! 🎂Centennial Pediatrics turns 2 today! Although the "terrible 2s" is what people hear about most often in our line of work... we would like to call this the "terrific 2s!"

We had an amazing time celebrating the holidays last night with our wonderful staff and their families. We love what we do day-in and day-out and have this group of fun people to thank for that.
