New Location for Our Waterville Office
We are excited to announce our Waterville Office has moved to a new location in Waterville.
Our new Waterville address is:
295 C Kennedy Memorial Drive
Suite 1
Waterville, ME 04901-4535
Madison Office Closing
It is with mixed emotions that we make this announcement. After more than 20 years of providing health care to Madison and its surrounding communities, Waterville Pediatrics has made the difficult decision to close our office located in Madison, Maine. We will continue to see patients through September with the last scheduled day of Friday, September 28th, 2018. It has been our honor and privilege to provide pediatric primary care to your family and this is not a decision we were able to make lightly. We would like to extend our gratitude for your loyalty and confidence in our ability to care for your family over the years.
Waterville Pediatrics looks forward to continuing to provide care for your family at our Waterville Office located at 295 C Kennedy Memorial Drive, Suite 1, Waterville, Maine. It is our goal to make this a smooth transition for you and your child. Waterville Pediatrics understands that you may choose to seek medical care elsewhere as access to our Waterville Office may be difficult. Should you choose to transfer care we encourage you to look for a new primary care provider as soon as possible. Please contact our office at 207-873-5437 so we can assist you as needed.
Again, thank you for allowing us to participate in the health care of your child. We have greatly valued this relationship over the years. It is our hope that you will continue to choose Waterville Pediatrics as your child's pediatric primary care provider.
Warming temps bring pesky insects
BUG SAFETY
- Don't use scented soaps, perfumes or hair sprays on your child.
- Avoid areas where insects nest or congregate, such as stagnant pools of water, uncovered foods and gardens where flowers are in bloom.
- If possible, eliminate stagnant water, such as in bird baths or fish ponds, in your yard. Check that your window screens are tightly fitted and repair any holes to keep bugs out of the house.
- Avoid dressing your child in clothing with bright colors or flowery prints.
- To remove a visible stinger from skin, gently back it out by scraping it with a credit card or your fingernail.
- Combination sunscreen/insect repellent products should be avoided because sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours, but the insect repellent should not be reapplied.
- Use insect repellents containing DEET when needed to prevent insect-related diseases. Ticks can transmit Lyme Disease, and mosquitoes can transmit West Nile, Zika virus, Chikungunya virus and other viruses.
- The current AAP and CDC recommendation for children older than 2 months of age is to use 10% to 30% DEET. DEET should not be used on children younger than 2 months of age.
- The effectiveness is similar for 10% to 30% DEET but the duration of effect varies. Ten percent DEET provides protection for about 2 hours, and 30% protects for about 5 hours. Choose the lowest concentration that will provide the required length of coverage.
- The concentration of DEET varies significantly from product to product, so read the label of any product you purchase. Children should wash off repellents when they return indoors.
- As an alternative to DEET, picaridin has become available in the U.S. in concentrations of 5% to10%.
- When outside in the evenings or other times when there are a lot of mosquitoes present, cover up with long sleeved shirts, pants and socks to prevent bites.
