Moving Day!

September 20, 2006 by Kenneth Carlson, MD 

moving buildingWe 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!

Check out our building update page for maps, pictures, videos and general description of the project.

Healthy school lunches

Junk foodThere is a growing movement to improve the quality and nutritious value of school lunches. Salem has seen big changes this year with the removal of soft drinks and other high sugar drinks from schools. I found this web site for Parents Against Junk Food that is creating an organized approach to this problem including lots of practical tips and recipes. A recent episode of NPR Science Friday had an excellent discussion of one community that has made big changes.
