📢 IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE 📢

We wanted to share some important news with our Highland Pediatrics patients and families.

As of June 18, Lauren, our Nurse Practitioner, will be leaving our practice as she transitions into a school nurse position. We are so thankful for the commitment, compassion, and care Lauren has provided to our patients and families. She will be greatly missed, and we wish her nothing but the best in her next chapter. 💙

We are also excited to announce and welcome Deidra Ahlert, Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, to our Highland Pediatrics team! Deidra will officially be joining us on June 23. She brings several years of experience working with children and adolescents in primary care settings, and we feel she will be a wonderful asset to our office and families.

We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible while continuing to provide the quality care you know and trust.

Please help us thank Lauren for her time with us and give Deidra a warm welcome to Highland Pediatrics! 🎉
