Prep for Back to School Germs and Keeping Your Baby Safe!

August means new schedules, back-to-school energy—and yes, more germs in the house. If you’ve got school-aged kids and a baby at home, it’s a balancing act.

This month’s blog is all about keeping your youngest family member protected as older siblings / family friends head back into busy classrooms and sports routines. I’m sharing helpful reminders and health tips for protecting your baby’s immune system (and your own sanity!) this season.

August Happenings 📝 💻

We have received our highest number of school, camp, and medical authorization forms to date! Dr. J is a bit behind on these forms.

If you have submitted a form request, please send the team a new portal message with the due date as she works through reviewing records and signing them all in between patient appointments.

July Recap

July has been a busy month for our team.

Our Interns are finalizing their successful summer internship. They have been working on health literacy, quality improvement, and learning about practice management.

Their main quality improvement project has been improving the organization of the patient portal so that it is easier to use. They also are working on documenting this process so that information about portal use and efficiency becomes more accessible to other students around the country!

Our Johns Hopkins graduate students completed their practicum project and helped us with formalizing a program that we will be launching this fall. They did a wonderful job.
