WOW, what a fun night we had at Sand Jam Movie Night at Jennings Beach!!

Our awesome nurse practitioners, Karalee Pino and Erin Flynn, had a blast connecting with families and teaching kids (and their parents!) about the importance of good nutrition and staying active.

We were so impressed by how many kids answered the nutrition questions correctly. It sparked even more curiosity and inspired them to keep testing their knowledge!

It was a wonderful family event, and we're already looking forward to going back next year!

Protect Kids' Health, Say No to Medicaid Cuts!

H.R.1 threatens access to care for millions of children, especially in vulnerable communities. As a whole team of pediatricians, advanced practice providers, and healthcare staff, we see firsthand how vital Medicaid is to keeping kids healthy, safe, and thriving. Cutting funding means fewer checkups, missed diagnoses, and harder lives for families.

We stand against this. Kids deserve better

Pediatric Healthcare Associates pediatricians Dr. Alicja Dewera-Moczerniuk, Dr. Corrie Steeves, Dr. Amanda Rodriguez-Murphy, and CEO Dr. Andrea Hagani attended an Advocacy Town Hall on June 17th hosted by the Fairfield County Medical Association (FCMA).

We came together with other pediatricians and legislatures to discuss the current state of affairs, including the vaccine funding, mental health services, and the Medicaid program.

PHA supports the work of the FCMA and the American Academy of Pediatrics in working to ensure that we can continue to deliver high-quality care to our patients.

We had a blast this morning at the Peanut Butter Jam Concert at Sherman Green in Fairfield. 🎼🌞

Our amazing nurse practitioner Sarah Donahue handed out frisbees, pencils, and activity books to the kids. 📚🖍️

The always-entertaining Ryan SanAngelo kept everyone smiling with stories and songs. 🎤🎸

It may have been a hot one, but the fun didn’t stop! 🔥😎
