May President's Message
"In This Together"
By: Deborah Moss, MD, MPH, FAAP 'We are there for you.' This is the message that we pediatricians need to be communicating to our patients, families and communities. From all around the state, I've been hearing that many parents think pediatric offices are closed so don't even bother calling. Or they are afraid to bring their child to a doctor's office for fear of being exposed to COVID-19. Call and visit volumes are down as much as 70-80%, yet kids still need care: they need well visits and immunizations; they need care for illnesses or injuries. Parents need advice or counseling on managing a myriad of concerns and stressors. As pediatricians and practices, now is the time for us to get this message out. |
