Pediatric Associates of Hampden County | What's New

Your child’s health and well-being are our top priority. We continue to work diligently to stay up to date with the latest recommendations regarding COVID-19, from the CDC, the Massachusetts Department of Health, and our colleagues at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Please call either office to schedule a time for your children to get the flu shot. 

For school return, we recommend that all schools regularly endorse staff and students wear a cloth face covering, washing hands and practice physical distancing.

Children ages 2 years and older can and should wear a cloth face mask, including while in schools, child care and other group settings.

As of June 30th, 2020 we will have a new appointment reminder system for our patients, with families now be notified of their upcoming appointment via text message or voicemail.

We are happy to let you know that our office is now able to provide Virtual Visits for medical and behavioral health when appropriate.  We remain available in our office for visits that require a physical exam (for example ear checks).

Both offices will be open until noon on 12/31/19.  On New Years Day the West Springfield office only will be open until noon for urgent visit. Please call for an appointment if needed.

PAHC wishes all of our patients a happy and safe Halloween!

Effective Tuesday, June 5, PAHC is converting to a new and improved electronic health record system, including a new patient portal to access health records. New features - send and receive messages, get copies of immunizations, camp and sports forms, and view and pay your bill online.

Big news! PAHC is extending our age range of our patients, previously the upper age was 18, but now we increased it to 21 years old.  A little help through those early college years.

We are pleased to inform you that our office is now participating in the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS).  The MIIS is the new statewide, electronic record-keeping system (or registry) that keeps track of your immunizations (shots).
