Greetings to all our families, friends and patrons

As we  close out 2016 and  begin a  new year here at CHILD & Associates.  I want to share some exciting updates. We celebrated our 10^th Anniversary in style. Thank you very much to those who were able to join us.   You spoke and we heard you!  Our vision is to always provide you   with the latest and most comprehensive care possible. With that in mind we will be providing some new intriguing health  services beginning in  2017.

First and foremost, we shall be  expanding our staff.   Please welcome our new Office Manager Dalene Orleans- Lindsay.  A graduate of Ashesi College, Ms. Orleans-Lindsay  brings a solid business and administrative skill set to the clinic.  We also look forward to ramping our patient base and with that in mind, we welcome Dr. Yovanna Pinto, a  talented physician with over 20 years of medical experience.

Continuing  our program growth  we will be offering the  following 3 clinic services:

 TEEN Clinic

It seems like yesterday that my twins were in the throes of adolescent. Having run an award-winning Teen Clinic in the US, I know how difficult this time can be. Starting this month, we’re offering 30-minute consults to discuss strategies for raising health adolescents. We’ll cover everything from sexual health and effective communication about sex, to puberty benchmarks and red flags. Dr. Castor and Dr. Baffour will lead this.

SKIN CARE 101

As we mothers get older, it becomes more important to take good care of our skin. Many of us know the basics (cleanse, hydrate, exfoliate) but overlook the details. For example, please answer the following:

True       False            Drinking water helps hydrate the skin

True       False            Applying lotion in upward motions helps prevent sagging

True       False            Cold water makes pores smaller

True       False            Eating chocolate causes breakouts

If you “False” to any statement above, our new 30-minute Skincare consults are for you!

DIET NO MORE!!

FACT IS –   Fad diets don’t work. The good news is: You’re in the right place. Accra provides the perfect context for managing your weight! You can drink water all the time; you can buy fresh produce any time; and with the right information, you can prepare amazingly healthy meals. If you want to slim down, tone up, or get serious about keeping your family healthy, our new on-line and in clinic Nutrition Consults will help.

 Office Updates:

If you don’t have time to come in but need medical advice, simply schedule a fax consult. I’ll get back to you within 24 hours. As always, if it’s an emergency, please bring your child to the office or an emergency room. If you’re not sure whether it’s an emergency, call the office and our receptionist will walk you through the checklist (available on our website). After 6pm, go straight to an Emergency Room.

It goes without saying,  thank you for making CHILD & Associates your choice for  all of your health care needs  in 2016 and we look forward to continuing  to service you and your loved ones in 2017.

Happy Holidays to all and   have a safe and prosperous   New  Year!
