💙 As we wrap up Nurses Week, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our very own — and simply the very best — nurse, Chris Holmes, RN! 💙

Nurses are the heart of healthcare, providing comfort, compassion, advocacy, and expert care to patients and families every single day. This week, we celebrated all nurses and the incredible difference they make in the lives of others.

Chris is the definition of compassionate care. He is always there for our patients and families with kindness, patience, and an unwavering commitment to going above and beyond. Whether he’s comforting a worried parent, supporting a child through a tough moment, or helping a teammate without hesitation, Chris brings heart to everything he does.

At Stellar Pediatrics, we are incredibly lucky to have Chris as part of our team and our community here in Topsham, Maine. His dedication makes a difference every single day, and we are so grateful for the care and compassion he brings to every interaction. 🌟

Thank you, Chris — and all nurses — for all that you do, today and every day! 👏💫

Happy Medical Laboratory Professionals Week! 🧪✨

This week (April 19–25, 2026), we celebrate the incredible lab professionals—lab assistants, medical technologists, medical laboratory scientists, specimen couriers, account reps, and client services reps—who play a vital role in patient care. Their precision and dedication ensure accurate, timely results so we can deliver the best care possible.

At Stellar Pediatrics, we are especially grateful for our partners at NorDx. Your dedication and reliability never go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate all that you do behind the scenes to support our team and our patients.

A very special shoutout to our amazing account representative, Becky! 💙 Your responsiveness, problem-solving, and willingness to go above and beyond make such a difference for us. We are so thankful to have you as part of our extended team!

Join us in recognizing and thanking all laboratory professionals this week—you are essential, and we appreciate you!

🎉🏃‍♂️ HUGE congratulations to Dr. Goodwin and Christine for crushing the Boston Marathon! 🏃‍♀️🎉

Running 26.2 miles is no small feat—and neither is the dedication it takes to get there. These two powered through months of training in rain, snow, sleet, ice, and even below-freezing temps. Talk about commitment! 💪❄️🌧️

Boston’s legendary hills didn’t stand a chance against their determination and grit. And having their amazing support system of family, friends, and patients cheering them on made the journey even more special. ❤️👏

We are beyond proud of you both—what an incredible accomplishment! 🥇🎊

🚨🏃‍♂️ TOMORROW’S THE BIG DAY! 🏃‍♀️🚨

Dr. Goodwin is taking on the Boston Marathon! 🎉 And she’s not alone — joining her is Christine (Winnie’s mom 🐾💙), also hitting the course!

Speaking of Winnie… some of you know her as Ally’s big, fluffy, bestie 🤍🐶 — and yes, both Ally and Winnie tried to snag bibs this year… but apparently the BAA has a strict “no dogs allowed” policy 😂🐕‍🦺❌

💛 Dr. Goodwin is also aiming for 26 donations in support of her New York City Marathon run for Girls on the Run Greater Boston — one for every mile (and maybe a little extra love for that final 0.2 😉)!
