Car seat safety is very important to us! If you have questions about your children's car seats be sure to ask for more information at your well visits! Even better, get your car seat inspected by a certified technician through the Montgomery County Office of Public Health.

COVID-19 Lesson
Incubation period: the time it takes to become symptomatic after exposure to a virus
*Rhinovirus (common cold) - 2-3 days
*Influenza - 4 days
*Measles - 8-12 days
*COVID-19 - up to 14 days!
As COVID-19 cases in our area continue to rise, here are some recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding Thanksgiving and what to think about as you are finalizing your plans. As frustrated and tired as we all are of this pandemic, we want to help our families make safe choices to keep our entire community safe. Some highlights:
*Outdoor activities are safer than indoor activities
*Wear a mask if you will be indoors with people other than your immediate family
*Avoid large unmasked groups eating together
*If you have even the slightest cold symptoms, stay home!
