Good morning! Just a heads up for next week! This will include our sister clinic, Spokane Pediatric Urgent Care.

By now routines are (hopefully!) starting to settle in, and the kids are back in the swing of school.

But how are they really doing? 😊

Are they loving being back with friends? Exhausted from the new routine? Missing summer? Maybe a little bit of everything?

The first few weeks can be an adjustment for kids and parents alike. Give everyone a little grace while those new routines fall into place. ❤️

Wildfire Smoke & Kids: Keep Little Lungs Safe 🔥

Wildfire smoke can be especially hard on children’s lungs. Kids breathe faster, are often more active, and their lungs are still developing—so poor air quality can affect them more than adults.

When smoke is in the air:

• 🏠 Stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed.
• 💨 Keep indoor air clean: Use A/C on recirculate, a HEPA air purifier, or a MERV 13+ filter if your system allows it.
• 🚗 In the car: Keep windows closed and use the recirculate setting.
• 🌳 Check the AQI before heading outside. Orange (100+) is unhealthy for sensitive groups, including children; red (150+) is unhealthy for most people.
• 🫁 Pay extra attention to children with asthma or breathing problems and keep them in a clean-air environment when air quality is poor.

If your child has severe trouble breathing, unusual sleepiness, or refuses to eat or drink, reduce their smoke exposure and seek medical care right away. If their usual breathing medications aren't helping, they should be evaluated even when traveling through smoky conditions is difficult.

Some of the babies we met when we first opened are now 11 years old. 🤯

Over the past 11 years, we've watched children grow, families grow, and our community grow. We've been there for first visits, first steps, new siblings, school milestones, sports physicals, and all the everyday moments in between.

Thank you for trusting us with the most important people in your lives. 💙
