Growth and Changes February 2007 We will be moving this month into the new building. There are going to be new colors and new themes (eventually) but the same great staff. Patient enrollment is now at 5108. The predominant illnesses are URIs, Croup, Strep Throat and the Flu.... Spring is coming and so are allergies........ November 2006 We are on the move.....We are currently renovating a building at 813 BonAmi Street. We have bought this building and over the next couple of years, we will be adding an entire wing to the current building to double the patient capacity. February 2006 Well we now have a extension to the clinic's name: The Perkins Pediatric Clinic, LLC. We continue to grow and we now see Kidmed patients for Dr. T. Griffin, Dr. Bonilla, Dr. F. Taylor, Dr. R. Duplechain and Dr. Granger. Our current patient enrollment is 4249. The illnesses that we have seen this year, especially since Hurricane Rita, are common illnesses that we normally see but seem never ending. We are constantly booked up one-two days in advance but on a brighter note, hospital admissions are the same as before or even down. October 2005 We lost power for about 1 week after Hurricane Rita came to visit. We are open for business and undamaged. August 2005 Wahoo, we have grown past 3650 patients. That is a lot of patients. Cyndi has been a God-send as she sees the children who need Kidmed checkups which leaves me to see the sick children. This summer has seen an increase in the MRSA in the form of recurrent boils. Why the increase? Well, besides docs who over prescribe antibiotics, the animals that we raise for food often have been given antibiotics in their food to make them healthier and antibiotics are in the soaps that we use every day. Word of advice: Plain old soap, when used, kills not only the bacteria, but viruses and other things. We DO NOT need antibiotics for hand washing! On a more jovial note, check out our NEW Inspiration section. Also, the West Nile issue was almost non-existent this summer. February 2005 A lot has changed since I last posted an update. Our nurse practitioner has been moved to helping with the sick children. In her place, we have hired a part-time RN to help with the Kidmed checkups. This is Cyndi Wilbanks. Our patient count is now at 3200 enrolled patients and growing. May 2004 We are doing very well. We have hired a part-time nurse practitioner, Anita Thibodeaux, to help with the Kidmed checkups. We are looking for a nurse to help with these as well. September 2003 A special note to let you know that we have moved: 111 North Royal Street, DeRidder, LA 70634. August 2003 We are on our own. We are about to move to a new location which is... more roomy in all aspects. The Fall cold season has set in. Health checkups will now decrease but in the future we are talking about hiring a nurse practioner in to perform these 2-3 days per week but we must move first. We have an enrollment of 2229 patients in our clinic. May 2003 We have reached the end of our contract with Beauregard Memorial Hospital. We are now officially a private business. Summers are often 'lean' for the field of pediatrics but our plan is to increase the scheduled health checkups and to decrease spending until fall. We now have 2029 patients in our clinic populations and rumor has it that we are well liked. We look forward in the next year or so to finding us a new location, either building or buying a building, so that we can expand our services and the number of patients seen. August 2002 We are now over 1 full year in Louisiana and growing steadily. We have approximately 1250 patients since this time last year. As you can see, we have redesigned the web page using Front Page. We hope that this will give us more control and ease in updating this page monthly as we would like to. We have a few big plans in the works. The first is to visit the Wal-mart to offer growth screenings with Miss Beauregard in the next month. The second, which is further in the future is to build a bigger clinic. We would like the corner of 190W and Texas Street. We are, and always will be, accepting new patients on most insurance, private pay, and Medicaid. May 2001 April 2001 January 2001 January 2000
