Children’s Center Celebrates TEN YEARS

This spring, Owensboro Health Children’s Center celebrated ten years of serving the community.

This growing pediatric practice is home to four pediatricians, two nurse practitioners and an entire team to support them. Looking back, the group says they’re grateful to everyone who has made this practice what it is today. They look forward to many years of building relationships and caring for the children in our community.

“Ten years ago, Owensboro Health took a chance and started a pediatric practice when I reached out to them,” John Phillips II, MD, said. “I would never have dreamed ten years later we would have four doctors with another coming in 2024, two outstanding nurse practitioners, and eighteen amazing staff members, including our manager, receptionists, social worker and nurses. I am so grateful for the opportunity Owensboro Health provided and for each and every person who has been with us along the way.”

The practice has been successful because they know you are your child’s primary caregiver. They closely involve you in medical decisions and work with you to develop a care plan that respects your family’s values. They listen carefully to your concerns, take time to answer your questions, and recommend ways you can improve your child’s health at home. You’ll feel empowered to make choices that keep your loved ones as well

The practice serves babies, children and teens. Rely on their compassionate pediatric specialists to provide excellent:

Outpatient Care – Includes wellchild visits, vaccinations, sports and school physicals, behavioral health consultations and more
