Welcome to the GROW Pediatrics Blog!
Here on our blog, you’ll find office updates, announcements, and up-to-date health information. Keeping you updated on current Covid-19 precautions and vaccine availability is important to us, and you can often find that info here, or on our Facebook page.
We aim to post about topics we find most beneficial to our families at GROW- many of which originate from our ‘Most Frequent Call Reasons’ list.
We also like to share news and blog posts from reputable pediatric sources: The American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP’s HealthyChildren.org, and KC Kids Doc, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
If there is a topic you’d like to see here, we are glad to receive suggestions! Email us at nurse@growpediatrics.com.
