In 2002 a few employees and their families were dealing with some serious health issues. It was then that a small group formed hoping to make a difference and raise money for charitable organizations. Over the years we’ve participated in many events including Light the Night Walk, the Walk MS, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at North Park.

We have adopted angels from the Salvation Army Angel Tree, donated toys to Our Children’s House at Baylor, and collected canned food for the North Texas Food Bank. The physicians at POD over the years have generously matched our donations dollar for dollar. We have donation boxes at our check in and check out area. We greatly appreciate every donation.

Our group, now known as the POD Squad, has grown to include most of the employees. Our priority this year is the Food 4 Kids program with the North Texas Food Bank, the Walk MS, the Genesis Women’s Shelter, and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

Following are a few photos from our POD Squad adventures:

Should You Take Your Child to an Urgent Care Center?

Only if it's after hours and if you've talked with our after hours nurse. Most illnesses can safely wait until the following day, and our nurse advice line can help you decide. If the nurse refers you to an urgent care center, ER, or follow up in our office the following day, there is no charge for the call. If you're concerned about poison exposure, call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. Do not wait for your child to act or look sick.

Breastfeeding Bootcamp – A First Time Mom & Pediatrician’s Experience by Dr. Hillary S. Lewis

Wow! What an introduction to motherhood! I felt like I had survived boot camp by the time my daughter was 6 weeks old.

If you are still reading this, you obviously have dedicated yourself to learning about breastfeeding. For that, you should be congratulated!

An Overview for the Parent: Autism and Screening for Developmental Delay by Dr. Chafen Watkins Hart

Lucky for the pediatrician, many parents are increasingly interested in childhood development and are knowledgeable on "ages and stages" or the appropriate development of a normal child. Much of the well child check up is devoted to tracking a child's development in gross motor, fine motor, language and cognitive skills. And high on the radar of many parents is Autism Spectrum Disorder. Rightly so, as it has become a more frequent diagnosis in the past 20 years and various studies pinpoint the frequency between 1 in 50 and 1 in 400 children, with a male predominance of 4:1.
