Parents do have choices. We hope you’re never in this position, but if you ever have to go to the ER, please speak up. Make sure to ask the ER physicians to call your primary care physician (or your PCP’s office). This is especially important if your child needs to be admitted or transferred to another hospital.

And please don’t forget, parents do have a say in the provider that sees their child. And they have a choice of the facility at which their child is seen.

Speak with your child’s primary care physician if you have questions or concerns and know that we are always here for you: 847-295-1220.

Take action to prevent influenza! The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children ages 6 months and older are vaccinated for influenza for the 2019-2020 season, preferably by the end of October. Influenza vaccines are not licensed for infants younger than six months, and so to protect them it is important that the people around them are vaccinated and that their mothers receive the influenza vaccine during pregnancy. Scientific studies support the benefits of flu vaccination:

The influenza vaccine…
can keep you from getting sick with influenza.
can reduce the risk of influenza-associated hospitalization and death for children and others.
can be life-saving in children. Up to 80% of pediatric deaths from influenza were in children who were not vaccinated.
has been shown to reduce severity of illness in people who catch influenza.
can protect people around you, including people who are more vulnerable, like babies, young children, and those with impaired immune systems
can be given to children with an egg allergy

At Lake Forest Pediatric Associates, we have just opened up four influenza immunization clinics along with nurse appointments. Appointments are available on a daily basis beginning on Monday, September 16, 2019.

It’s not too early for your child’s influenza immunization! Call us at 847-295-1220 now for best availability

Lake Forest Pediatric Associates held a successful School Supply Drive for local Round Lake area children affected by the flooding in August. Families with children at Beach Elementary, Ellis Elementary, and Murphy Elementary were especially impacted by area flooding.

Thank you to our staff from all three Lake Forest Pediatric Associates’ offices who participated in the school supply drive by purchasing, collecting, sorting, and delivering the school supplies. Backpacks, notebooks, art supplies, and more filled three extra-large boxes to overflowing!

Members of our Employee Engagement Committee delivered the school supplies to the Superintendent Office, Round Lake Community Unit School District 116, to be distributed throughout the school district.

Financial donations for restoration efforts from the flooding may be sent to the Round Lake Area Schools Education Foundation.
