Childhood Illness and COVID

With all the concern about COVID, MPA would like to remind all our parents and guardians that childhood illnesses still occur despite the pandemic.

Your child can still get an ear infection, strep throat or have an asthma flare up. Their eczema, rashes, Roseola, fevers without cause, significant cough and cold or pneumonia can happen any day & NOT BE COVID. The sick needs of all children are being evaluated & treated by our providers every day since the pandemic began.

COVID is far from the only issue children need to be evaluated

for when they are ill.

Therefore, as we book children with your worry about COVID, your Primary Care Providers & our staff are treating each as a routine sick visit: asking you questions, listening to your history, evaluating & examining to determine what illness your child might have.

In following the COVID CDC Guidelines, MPA will keep you, your children & our staff safe in these evaluations. The Providers come to you no matter what the weather; in your car, outside our office or in the individual exam rooms in our South Windsor shed. We continue to practice comprehensive pediatrics in caring for the sick needs of our patients—your children— no matter what the location.
