Be a Sun Hero! Shield your children from the sun: a pilot program
This summer, Lake Forest Pediatric Associates has teamed up with the Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation (http://www.pediatricspf.org/about/) and researchers at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine to launch a ground breaking pilot program. The program is designed to help increase awareness of the benefits of wearing sun protective clothing at an early age. We are asking parents and caregivers of children between the ages of 2-6 years, to complete a short survey about sun protection. Each child will be given a voucher which can be redeemed for a free sun protective swim shirt (sun shield) at the web-store of the Pediatric Sun Protection Foundation http://sunhero.org/. Shipping is about $3.
Dr. June Robinson, Research Professor of Dermatology at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, and her team will be responsible for monitoring the program from June 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014.
Why did we launch the pilot program?
This pilot has been launched to prevent future skin cancer by changing behavior in the way our children protect themselves from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. Childhood exposure to high levels of sunlight is a strong determinant of melanoma risk now and as adults. Your Pediatricians, Nurse Practitioners and nurses are an important part of your family’s team providing important sun protection information.
While regular sunscreen use is encouraged and prevents melanoma development in adults as well as moles in children, reliance on sunscreen as the only form of sun protection is problematic. Children balk at having lotions applied and sprays may be applied too thinly. The cost of sunscreen, especially with daily use and re-application, can be expensive and unmanageable for families. Unlike T-shirts, sun shields provide protection when wet and a child can put it on themselves providing consistent protection. Help safely shield your child from the sun!

Dear Parents, Patients, Family and Friends:
I will be retiring from Lake Forest Pediatrics and from the active practice of Pediatrics on June 30, 2013.
Confucius said “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I have been fortunate to have a career which I truly loved. However, I feel this is the right time to explore new horizons.
I have been blessed to have been at Lake Forest Pediatrics for 43 years. During that time, I ahve been grateful you have allowed me into the lives of your families and the privilege of caring for your most valuable possession — your children. I hope that I have contributed to their well-being during my career. I know your children have enriched my life and they have taught me many of my life experiences.
I am leaving the practice of pediatrics — a lot older, a little wiser, and still in awe of the magnificence of children.
I would like to wish all of you the gift of health, happiness and well-being.
With my best regards,
Arthur J. Lasin, M.D.

Lake Forest Pediatric Associates was voted “best pediatrician” in the 2014 Readers’ Choice Top Picks sponsored by the Daily Herald. Adults and teens submitted ballots to identify “top picks” in a wide range of categories, including health care. Lake Forest Pediatrics is proud to join three other practices as a top vote getter in the pediatrics category.
This distinction reflects the priority that we place on delivering sensitive, family-focused care. Our pediatricians, nurse practitioners and staff receive high marks from satisfied parents and we are always looking for new ways to provide even better service. For example, our Lake Bluff office is now open until 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday to meet the needs of busy families.
