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

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.

Lake Forest Pediatric Associates is celebrating 50 years of serving the community!

Although we’ve seen a lot of change over the years, the health and wellness of our pediatric patients and their families continue to be the focus of our pediatric practice.

Drs. Elmer Kadison, Ed Salter, and Gerald Lasin established the practice in 1969, joined by Dr. Arthur Lasin shortly thereafter. Our first office was located in downtown Lake Forest. A few years later, we moved the office to the campus of Lake Forest Hospital.

Today, we provide a full range of medical services for infants, children, and teens at three convenient locations in Lake Bluff, Lindenhurst and Vernon Hills. Our practice is affiliated with two first-rate hospitals, Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.

As we look back, we think of all the wonderful patients and families we’ve come to know over the years. Some of our young patients today are the children and grandchildren of the practice’s first patients! Our sincere thanks go out to all the families who have placed their trust in us.

We couldn’t mark this anniversary without acknowledging our talented and caring staff for their professionalism and devotion to our patients & families!

All of us at Lake Forest Pediatric Associates look forward to many more years providing family-focused care in Northern Illinois.

It looks like the old adage remains true…In Chicago, there’s the winter season and then there’s road construction season. Road construction projects are in full swing here in Lake County.

Road resurfacing, realignment and reconstruction projects can really add to your commute time. Local trip times can be unpredictable. A quick drive over to the pediatrician’s office may take much longer than anticipated. This year, it’s especially true in the area of our Lindenhurst office. Road projects are impacting Grand Avenue and US Route 45, among others.

But there is help for navigating area road construction! Did you know there are helpful resources available online? Before heading out for your child’s appointment, check out these helpful online resources:

· The Village of Lindenhurst is posting road construction updates, including lane closure information, on their website home page. You can get updates about the Grand Avenue construction work near our Lindenhurst office.

Village of Lindenhurst also offers construction updates on their social media profiles. Follow the Village on Facebook or Twitter.

· Lake County’s interactive construction map is updated for the 2019 construction season.

Lake County Passage provides live updates of traffic conditions throughout the county. Maps include updates on traffic conditions, incidents/accidents, and road work. You can even see current live photos of conditions at key intersections.

· Illinois Department of Transportation’s website has current information on planned road closures and work zones, including official press releases and helpful maps.

· Google Maps also displays real-time traffic and assists in finding the quickest route. Get the app for your smart phone in the App Store for Apple, Google Play Store for Android, and others.
