This Wednesday (April 21) is SUPERHERO DAY at LPA! If a patient has an appointment and would like to participate, they are encouraged to wear their favorite superhero shirt/dress/outfit for their appointment!

April 17 is World Hemophilia Day. Hemophilia is a medical condition in which blood's ability to clot is severely curtailed, which causes one to bleed profusely from even a small injury. The day is about raising awareness of this and other bleeding disorders. At a time when coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on people with a bleeding disorder, the objective has never been more important. Learn more here: https://www.worldhemophiliaday.org/

Today, we celebrated Dr. Clark McSparren, one of the founding physicians at Lancaster Pediatrics, as the recipient of the PA AAP 2021 Physician of the Year. He officially received the award on March 20 at the PA AAP virtual conference, but this afternoon, Annette Myarick (Executive Director of PA AAP) presented Dr. McSparren with the award in-person at our offices so all of our providers could celebrate with him. Congratulations, Dr. McSparren on this well-deserved honor! https://lancped.com//lpa-celebrates-2021-pediatrician-of-t

Beginning Monday, March 1st Lancaster Pediatric Associates will be transitioning to EPIC's EMR system. As a result of this change, our current patient portal will be turned off on Thursday, Feb 25th. Patients will need to transition and use MyLGHealth for all of their portal needs. If you are a parent and you already have a MyLGHealth account you can request that any of your children 12 years of age and younger be added to your account by completing a Child Proxy Request F...orm under the Sharing tab in your account. Patients ages 13-17 years old will need to download and complete a Minor Consent Form to establish their own access to MyLGHealth. At that point, parents will no longer have access to their child's records. Once we are up and running, we will be receiving activation codes that we can provide parents and patients to create a MyLGHealth account. We understand that this is a change and we ask for your continued patience through the transition process. Thank you, Lancaster Pediatric Associates

Whether your child is in virtual or in person school this fall it is certain to be full of uncertainty.

So, the responsibility is on parents to provide a consistent, reassuring force of peace. While force of peace may seem dichotomous; right now, p...Continue reading
