It's that time of year again, time for those sports physical forms! Is your child playing Fall sports? If so, you will likely need a sports physical form signed and turned in prior to practice. We are getting a high volume of sports forms right now so please allow 2-3 business days for completion.
We had so much fun team building on Saturday in the rain at the Ridgefield Raptors game! Lots of smiles amidst the true PNW weather in August! ⚾️🌧 #CACteambuilding
We are so excited to partner with La Leche League of Vancouver, WA. We hope to see you all this Sunday at the free "Live, Love, Latch" event. There will be door prizes, face painting, kid's activities, and lawn games. Bring your whole family to support national breastfeeding month! #clarkcounty #livelovelatch #community
Happy Birthday week Dr. Cavens! We all hope you have a great birthday :)
If Dr. Abell was listed as your primary care doctor with Molina, you may have received a letter from Molina telling you that they have changed your child's Primary Care to another clinic.
As a parent YOU choose your child's health care provider, not your insurance company! Your child will continue care at Child & Adolescent Clinic with a pediatrician of your choice with no interruption. If your child needs to be seen, please call us. We look forward to continuing your child's care with Child and Adolescent Clinic.
We are working with Molina to reverse the reassignment of your child. This was an oversight on Molina's part. When Dr. Abell retired, rather than re-assigning patients to one of our other pediatricians, they mistakenly assigned them to other clinics.
Thank you again for trusting Child and Adolescent Clinic for your child's health care. We look forward to many years together.
We had a great time at Fire in The Park this last Saturday. 🚲 Once the children completed their passports they came to learn bike safety at our station and receive their free bike helmets. It was a blast! Do you know the proper hand signals to let others know you are turning left, right, or stopping while riding a bike? ⬅️➡️🛑 #Fireinthepark
Come visit us at Esther Short Park this Saturday from 9am-2pm. We will be teaching children all about bike safety at Fire in The Park. We hope to see you there!!🚲
We will be closing at 4:30pm today and will remain closed over the weekend for some much needed construction. We will have a Pediatrician on call as well as the after hours nurse line if you need help. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank you Longview and Kelso School Districts for providing this service over the summer!
