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:

Answers about Medication for Your Child, by Robyn Lilly, CPNP-PC

What's the deal with giving kids medication? It is the middle of the night and your little one awakens you fussy and feverish. The doctor's office is closed. You just want to get a few more hours of shut eye before the sun rises. You reach into your trusty medicine cabinet to find something to help your itty bitty feel better and get some sleep. Sounds easy enough, right? Just reach into the cabinet and find some Tylenol or Ibuprofen to do the trick. But wait, it really isn't that easy.

Watkins’s Ideas About Starting Baby Foods

Not everybody might agree, but I think that it doesn’t matter exactly when you start solid foods: anywhere between 2 and 7 months age. Now the most natural time, based on babies’ behavior, their watching adults eat and reaching for food, is about 4-5 months old, but studies indicated that starting at an earlier age, as early as two months, or waiting until a later age like 6-7 months, has no effect. It appears that starting cereal and vegetables and fruits early, middle or late, does not affect a child’s eventual weight, height, intelligence or tendency to have food allergies.

Dr. Watkins Comments on Water for Baby

There are so many choices: distilled water, spring water, deionized water, filtered water, boiled water, Italian water, French water, Arkansas water, fluoridated water, tap water and even 'baby water'. What do choose for your children? What is safe, what is optimal? The easy answer to this question is tap water and also, in most cases, probably the best answer. The water system in Dallas and the Dallas area is very safe and has an excellent record for reliability. Buying bottled water has not been shown to be safer by any research, though there are arguments in its favor.
