Welcome

May 04, 2020

Dear valued families of Child Health Associates,

We want to provide you further updates as to the actions being taken within our offices to provide you safe and professional care during this health crisis.  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.

Over the last two months, we’ve developed effective procedures to provide a sanitized and safe space for parents to bring their children for important pediatric care.  As pediatricians, we realize that we are caring for the most important people in your lives.  We all need to focus on creating the best rather than the easiest or most convenient solutions.  Patience will go a long way to easing the stress of the current events. Working together we can significantly lower the risk of contracting COVID-19, while promoting the health and emotional well-being of your family and our staff as well.

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  (well child) care.
3. We will be starting our well child care at  8 am  each day , and also selecting children with important but non-respiratory symptoms to be seen in person by  one of our physicians, later in the afternoons.
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 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. As we expand our hours these next two months, we will be bringing back more of our physicians for in-office consultations.
8. 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
