We have moved!
October 8, 2006 by Kenneth Carlson, MD
Yes, the day has finally come! We are now located at 891 23rd Street NE, Salem. Our building is at the intersection of 23rd street and D street. 23rd Street intersects with D street about halfway between Lancaster St and Downtown. Closest large cross streets would be between Hawthorne and 17th. Click read more for area map and driving directions.
We are still settling in so excuse our mess but we are now up to full schedules as of Saturday October 6th. Pictures documenting our move are now available in the photo
gallery. We hope to add more in the near future as we collect pictures from everyone’s cameras so check back soon. Read more
Moving Day!
September 20, 2006 by Kenneth Carlson, MD
We are proud to announce that we are moving October 6th to our new building. Unfortunately we will be closed for that weekend beginning noon on Friday (10/6) until Monday AM when we open at our usual 0800. We are hoping to possibly open on Saturday AM but can’t guarantee at this time due to the uncertainties of getting a new building ready for quality patient care.
As always we will have physicians and nurses on call for urgent questions during this time. We apologize in advance for the reduced availability that weekend but we hope that this will only happen every 29 years (as long as Childhood Health has been in Salem). We look forward to serving your family’s healthcare needs in our new space!

With only a few short weeks we would like to share some more pictures showing the progress. Paint is going on the walls, lighting is being installed and soon flooring. Check out pictures here.
Building completion
August 8, 2006 by Kenneth Carlson, MD
We are now entering the final phase of construction. Exterior planking is going on and interior walls are getting drywall. Completion is anticipated mid September with us moving first week in October. If you have an October or later appointment be sure to double check with the office as the dates get closer to make sure you go to the correct location. We will update our web site and on-hold phone message with more information as the date creeps closer. We are very excited about the big day approaching and thank all our patients and their families for their support during this transition. For an overview of the building project go here. For pictures go here.
