Welcome
Welcome to The PediaMag Welcome to the Summer 2020 issue of The PediaMag! The providers and staff at AHN Pediatrics - Pediatric Alliance are back at full-strength after the spring COVID lockdown that kept our children home from school and parents home from work, and their pediatricians learning new skills with virtual telehealth technology. We are still here for you performing routine well child care exams and acute care visits in-person or virtually. If the pandemic has set your child’s immunization schedule back a few months, it is important to give the office a call today so we can schedule a visit and get them caught up on their shots. The last thing we want to see is a disease outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease like measles or whooping cough on top of a global pandemic of coronavirus! Which reminds us: We will have plenty of flu vaccine in stock for your kids this fall, so watch your inbox and social media pages and The PediaBlog and get ready to sign up for one of our annual flu clinics! All of us at The PediaMag wish your family good health during these difficult times. We hope you enjoy reading The PediaMag. Onward!
About Us: Pediatric Alliance was formed in 1996 when eight individual practices joined together to provide quality health care throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. Over the years, Pediatric Alliance grew to be the largest physician-owned group pediatric practice in the area. In 2019, Pediatric Alliance joined with Allegheny Health Network to allow expansion of resources in order to stay abreast of the latest technology and advances in health care. Our board-certified pediatricians offer primary care to children and adolescents in 16 different office locations including two specialty care offices for allergy, asthma, and immunology and pediatric endocrinology. We are proud to offer personalized, patient-centered care to patients from birth to 21 years of age. We strive to meet your family’s pediatric needs, provide convenient access to care, and build strong relationships with families to maximize your child’s health.
