Welcome

Jan 13, 2020

Dear valued families of Child Health Associates,

    The Doctors and staff at Child Health Associates want to thank you for being patient, trusting our decisions to change our ofice policies and procedures to protect you during the pandemic. 

    As risk levels change, as our doctors and clinical staff become vaccinated against COVID-19 and as schools begin in-person learning, we are here for you and your children.  We continue to diligently follow CDC guidelines ensuring safe office visits for our patients and staff.  Social distancing, elevated cleaning protocols and required mask use will continue until risk has been reduced in our communities.

    We are open full time, including Saturday mornings, and know from experience the importance of preventive care pediatric examinations.  If you have been delaying routine physical exams for your children, this may be a good time to call us, get an exam and help safeguard their young lives.

    We are also seeing sick children every day from roughly 3pm-5pm and we do perform "Rule-out COVID'19" evaluations including nasopharyngeal swabs for COVID-19 PCR testing. Results are usually available within 48-72 hrs. It is natural to feel worry and  insecurity during this time.  Thankfully, it has proven true that children almost always have milder illness when infected with COVID-19.  We encourage all parents to stay calm, develop a daily routine, and be reassuring to your children.

    Here are some updates being implemented at our offices, on a temporary basis, while this health care crisis slowly improves.  Effective May 11, 2020:

1. Well patient visits will occur each morning by appointment only.  Patients entering our offices will be entering clean waiting rooms and hallways free of ill patients.  If your  child has been scheduled for a well visit but inadvertently becomes sick, we will ask you to reschedule this appointment.
2. Starting on May 11^th , the doctors and staff of Child Health Associates will start the process of becoming more available for in-office  visits. We will be more inclusive about seeing some older children in addition to our infants and toddlers, for preventive health
3. We will be starting our well child care at 8:00 AM each day
4. Our physicians will remain available via confidential, live TELEMEDICINE visits as the day goes on.  Our reception staff or pediatric nurses can schedule you a telemedicine visit with one of our pediatricians starting at 9:00 AM each day.
5. Walk-in service will remain suspended to limit any time in our waiting rooms.
6. We realize that some important ongoing medical conditions and some new symptoms may have developed and not been addressed due to the current pandemic. Feel free to contact our office to explain what your children need. As disease prevalence lessens we wish to be more available to you either through our telemedicne visits or in-person office visits.
7. Know that each of our staff and each parent entering our buildings will be screened for illness including temperature measurement.

Thank you to all our parents for your understanding and cooperation during this challenging time. Thank you to all our nursing and physician colleagues at Beaumont and other regional hospitals for their dedication and compassion.

Dedicated to your children’s health and safety always,   

Child Health Associates
